Then the account was officially inactive. You'll need to reactivate (switch to the $15 plan) and then port out in another say 28 days if you don't want to waste too much money.

Edit: the date at the top when active is always the day of the new term. We need to have autopay or sufficient funds _before_ that day.

@cealexander unless you are porting out to Koodo or Telus your plan must be active. Do an immediate switch down to the $15 plan and reactivate your account so that you can port your number out. Here's an article on switching plans. https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/on/get-help/articles/change-your-plan , sorry to see you go. Stay safe.

Thanks. I switched to the $15 plan. Thing is I had auto pay on my account. Seems the money was not withdrawn when the port request was made.

Well then you're kinda lucky that autopay happened to fail on you. Although perhaps it got a little confused.

Next time, be sure to transfer/port in the morning of your last day at the latest.
