One line, one SIM and one account per e-mail.

You can use Gmail aliases, though.

You can also use one credit card for several accounts, however, I suggest staggering the sign up/renewal dates so that you don't trigger the fraud alert on the card.

Don't forget to take advantage of the referral rewards.

Each number needs a seperate account. Remember to use the first accounts referal code for the next account. That gets you 10$ account credit.

Activate on different dates if using the same cc to avoid autopay issues.

If you need a referal on the first account ask someone in this thead.

@Whitbyaus , number porting from Koodo is definitely possible. Postpaid is self serve porting. Prepaid porting requires moderator team assistance.

@Whitbyaus Yes you can. Recommendations:

Activate one PM sim at a time and pick a Public Mobile temp number during activation.
Get a referral code to get a $10 credit on your first activation
Port over one of the non primary numbers on the account using your online selfserve account.
Repeat for the second number and use the first number as the referral.
Repeat for the third number and use the 2nd number as the referral.
Repeat for the primary number (4th) and use the 3rd number as the referral.

At this point your Koodo account automatically closes and welcome to PM! :smileyhappy

Having 3 accounts has always bothered me.

I have 3 different phone numbers and 3 different email addresses registered.

I administrate all of my families accounts.

I wish I could just us one email address and have the drop down with the account number change the account details.

This logging in and out 3 times everytime I need to check something is just silly.

Public needs to work on the technology end a bit. I understand this is basic service but it should not be a basic interface.

You do realize that you must have a UNIQUE email address for each phone/account.
So, you are saying that four unique emails are needed, correct?

The Public Mobile systems don't allow the same e-mail address to be entered for more than one Public Mobile account. Each Public Mobile account can only have one phone number.
