iMessage won’t verify public mobile number

[David1231]

I got a new phone and switched to public mobile, transferring a number from my previous carrier. The number seems to have transferred properly, but when I went to connect it to iMessage it has been attempting to validate for over 24 hours without resolution. Most posts say it should take significantly less time to come through than this.

@David1231 PM is having trouble provisioning SMS service for new activation, hence your voice and data services are working but not SMS.  Without SMS working, your iMessage activation cannot be completed 

PM is working on a system wide fix, for now, they are fixing it on a case by case basic.  Please open ticket with support so they can look into your case:

1. Open ticket via Chatbot (need access to My Account): At https://widget.telus.tiia.ai/publicmobile/publicmobile.html
    Start by typing "Submit a ticket", then click "Contact Us", then "Other", then "Log In", finally click "Click here to submit a ticket ↗" 
2. If you have trouble with Chatbot or you don't have access to My Account: Private message CS Agent at: 
       https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/notes/composepage/note-to-user-id/22437
**Monitor your Community inbox (envelope icon on the top right) after ticket submitted, CS Agent will reply to you there
