Number Tranfer

hrithik — Thu, 06 Jan 2022 08:34:38 GMT

I have recently transferred a number and it says that It is successful. When I send a text or call, other person sees the right number, but when they try to call me, It does not reach me and someone else picks up the call. I think there number transfer issue or some mixed service. What to do in that case? Any help is appreciated.

@hrithik , have you rebooted your phone after receiving the successful transfer message. Check the self serve account to make sure the number showing in the account is correct. If this does not resolve the issue, click on the chat symbol on the lower right corner of the webpage and initiate a support ticket. Good luck.

@hrithik

You said you transferred a number over to Public Mobile, and someone else answer when they call that number?

Did you transfer over a number from an active account?

This is weird, if you account was active that you transferred over.

Did you:

*REBOOT your phone

*do a reset of your network settings

IF the same issue exists, you could ask CSA to look into it.

To contact the Public Mobile Customer Support Agent (CSA)_Team, there are two methods to reach them:

1 - Faster - Click the bubble comment circle on the bottom right-hand side of your screen,

you ported your own number from another provider to PM? It is uncommon that a port request ended up the number got directed to another person. I would call your number again and confirm with the one answering the call to see if he has your number.

of course try reboot once it twice more

. maybe just "short circuit" or "hiccup" that will resolve itself after some time??

@hrithik

When you ported over to PM, did you power off the phone? Try powering off the phone then wait a few minutes then power the phone back on.

If this doesn’t work, contact a PM CS Agent by clicking on the CS Agent and type in Create a Ticket so an agent will look into your issue.

Carriers can’t assign cancelled numbers for 90 days before resigning to someone else.

Looks like that number is still active. I just changed to new number in any case.

The message about success on the Public Mobile activation website or Self Serve website does not mean that the phone number transfer was compleeted. It isn't actually an indicaiton of "success", but is rather poor choice of wording by Public Mobile and only means that your request was received by Public Mobile and the phone number assigned to your account. It will actually say successful if you type in a random person's phone number to port in while providing clearly incorrect old carrier account informaiton. This sounds to me a possible situation of maybe an incorrect phone number being typed in on the porting form.
