PM Customer For Months - Suddenly Can't Receive Phone Calls or Texts

TDRare

As of today, I have lost the ability to receive text messages and phone calls to my number immediately go to my PM voice mail.  I can make outgoing calls, send text messages to the people who can't text me back, and use my data.  iPhone 7 Plus on iOS 14. Ideas on how to fix?

Same phone I've had since I moved to PM over 9 months ago.  IMEI is not blacklisted.  SIM card listed on PM is correct.  Did the power down and remove sim, clean sim, wait, reinstall, reboot.  Guess I'll put in a ticket.  Thanks for the suggestions.

@softech ah yes, your right, I glazed right over that.

Thanks! 👌

 

@TDRare have you gotten a new phone lately?

 

If so...

Set up your phone number On your iPhone:

  1. Go to Settings > Messages and make sure that iMessage is on. You might need to wait a moment for it to activate.
  2. Tap Send & Receive. If you see “Use your Apple ID for iMessage,” tap it and sign in with the same Apple ID that you use on your Mac, iPad, and iPod touch.
  3. In the "You can receive iMessages" section, make sure that your phone number and Apple ID are selected.
  4. Go to Settings > FaceTime and make sure that your phone number and Apple ID are selected in the "You can be reached by FaceTime at" section.

These type of posts (with 'Suddenly") make me nervous about SIM-Jacking...I am sure this is not your case (i hope).

 

If your SIM works with services in another device, that this is not SIM-jacking.

 

GREAT- ensure DND (Do not disturb) was accidently turned on your device.

 

...Other trouble shooting:

*turn off your phone, leave off for a minutes, then reboot                                                            

*removing your SIM for a few minutes, then reinserting it

*go into airplane mode for a few minutes, then going back to regular mode

*reset network settings

*Check if your phone is blacklisted here: https://www.devicecheck.ca/check-status-device-canada/

 

 

If the SIM does not work in another device, log into your Self Serve account and ensure the digits listed under the Change Sim Card option match the last 4 digits of your actual SIM card.

 

If the numbers do not match list your phone as lost/stolen and let CSA know about this.

@TDRare   seems to be a common issue lately.

 

do you have a secondary phone to test?  If so, put your SIM in the secondary phone to see if you are receiving calls and text.    If it works, with the SIM still in the test phone, power down the phone.  Then wait 2 minutes before putting it back to the original phone and see if it starts working again.
