Transferring a number

Sceviour — Thu, 27 Jan 2022 14:09:50 GMT

Not able to transfer number from another server, although other account is still active. Public mobile account is already activated, but not allowing me to change within my account as suggested...any suggestions?

You can always just send a private message to CS_Agent with your account details (both current PM as well as the account that you want the number ported from). They will be able to set it up for you.

@Sceviour , please ensure that you have followed this help article on completing the number transfer process. Note that it is crucial that you keep the old SIM card in the phone so that you can accept the number transfer from the old service.

Are you getting an error message?

To port your number in use the following:

Full name on account.
Phone number.
Telus account #.
Alternate phone #. ( optional use any phone #)

Do you own a staffing agency supplying outsourced employees for pm?

You have to initiate porting at other provider. Leave your OLD SIM in the phone; you should receive SMS from old provider and reply YES to authorize porting.

@Sceviour

Check to see if the number you wish to transfer is eligible using this tool:

https://secure.koodomobile.com/checktransfereligibilityparrot/default.do?lang=en&appname=otherportal

If eligible, try clearing your browser's cookie/cache, or opening a tab in incognito mode, then try again.

If problems persist, contact Public Mobile Customer Support Agents (CSA) to help with your number transfer.
