New, no service after bringing old number over

Hi

I'm wondering if anyone has had this problem.

I'm new to Smarty and wanted to bring my old number over. My PAC code was sucessful. I received emails from the previous provider teling me my SIM was no longer active, as well as confirmation from Smarty that it was a success. 

I did not put the SIM into my phone until after the number was ported over, so I have never had service at all. 

After putting in the SIM, I have no service. Oddly, when I restart the phone, I have service for about a minute. Smarty shows as the operator in my settings. Then it disappears and I have no service again. 

I cannot make calls or recieve texts. When I contact Smarty over chat, told me to turn it on and off again, and to reset network settings. This doesn't do anything. They said maybe it will work after midnight. I have my doubts. 

I'm very concerned about not being able to be contacted and not being able to use 2FA. Please let me know if there's anything else I can try.
