His probation officer doesn't have to call his public defender. That is his job. I won't judge you on being with someone who stole credit cards but really, if he did the crime, he has to do the time.
He needs to contact his lawyer. If his lawyer is ignoring him, then he needs to bring a motion regarding ineffective counsel.
