phone number transfer request

kquinndc — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 21:04:00 GMT

I need my previous provider to send me another confirmation request. I heard from Public that would happen on Friday. It did not receive another request. I need public to send my previous provider a notice to me to be able to reply yes to the request.

@kquinndc If you need PM to re initiate a port request perhaps contact a moderator and ask them to do it. Leave your old sim in as you need it to receive the port request SMS from your old provider. Once that sim stops working put in your PM sim and port complete.

You can contact the mods one of 2 ways. Click the chat bubble bottom right of the browser as shown in the picture and open a ticket through the automated ticketing system;

or you can contact them through direct messaging at the following link (note this way may take longer for a response);

In either case you should receive a reply within 48 hours though typically they are much faster. Watch the envelope icon top right for a reply.

@Janusz1 You need to put your old sim in your phone and call the number below. Welcome to PM.

There is a relatively new procedure introduced by all cell companies to prevent fraudulent ports. You will receive a text SMS from your provider asking you to authorize the port. You have 90 minutes to reply. If you did not receive the SMS for whatever reason you can call **and have them fix the port. If you answered the SMS it can take a few hours for the port to complete. You can continue using your old sim until it stops working. Then insert your PM sim and you should be good to go.

Here is a link to a Public Mobile page on porting that may be useful:
