Hi, I just became a customer yesterday. Had to get my phone unlocked. Phone is working but my old number didn't transfer over to my public account. How do I correct this?

@MarkHancharek is you old account active and did you initiate a port? Log into your self service account. What number shows up under the plan section. If its your old number your port is probably stuck. Contact the moderators and explain your situation. There are 2 ways to contact the Moderator Team:

Faster response- Get help with your account the easy way by starting a conversation with our virtual assistant, SIMon. It’ll take you to relevant help articles, or if it’s something more urgent, it can help you submit a ticket to the Moderator Team. Click here to get started.
Slower- Alternatively, you can send a private message to the Moderators by clicking here. You’ll need to be logged in to your Community account for the link to work.

Keep an eye on the envelope top right of your screen. The mods answer will show up there. Stay safe.

Welcome to PM .

@MarkHancharek Did you setup the port during activation? If not, and you selected a temporary number from the Public's number pool then you need to do the following:

Be sure to note the best practices below to ensure a smooth process:

Only the authorized account holder can transfer a number.
You cannot transfer numbers between Public Mobile accounts.
Your previous account must be active in order for the number transfer to go through. Once the transfer is complete, it will be automatically deactivated from your previous service provider.
Double check your old account info, as it needs to be correct in order for your number transfer to complete. Here’s the information you’ll need: Account Number with previous provider, name on the account and phone number.

To complete your port-in request, this link and type in “port request” to be put in touch with a Moderator. Provide the info from above.
