Walmart activation and porting number help!

PJB — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 09:49:51 GMT

Hi There peeps,

I got my PM SIM activated at Walmart in Dieppe, NB today and now I need to port my PC Mobile number to it. When I try it using self-serve, I get an error saying it can't be done. I've checked with PC Mobile and they say there is no issue with my number or my account. Can someone help me please 🙂

Also, for some reason my friend's referral didn't go through either. Can this be fixed?

I suspect this error likely has to do with the fact that PC Mobile postpaid service is essentially Telus. As said earlier, if you're getting an error message like this, you'll have to contact the moderators.

Is your phone unlocked? I called my previous provider while in the Walmart store, and it was done immediately. The rest of the activation was seamless!

I also signed up 2 lines at Walmart. I had no problem porting the 1st number but, the other kept having an error message; I kept trying and, a few hours later it worked for my 2nd line.

I referred a friend, got referal confirmation via text & bonus but, have $0 in account; I assume it will just take time to upload the actual credit considering I recieved confirmation for my successful referal.

Yes, it can take up to 72 hours to get the credit.

Eligible customers will be credited within 72 hours. These credits will count towards your next renewal date.
