choose own phone number?

just signed up. Doesn't seem to give you the option to choose your last 4 digits for your phone number per the FAQ?

https://publicmobile.ca/en/bc/get-help/articles/choose-your-phone-number

I then just picked a phone number from the list thinking I could change it under my Profile. It still does not give me the option to put in the last 4 digits and search for a phone number. It just auto populates 3 random phone numbers each time.

have they taken away the option to search a phone number to use base on the last 4 digits?

thanks.

Yes. You can refresh and cycle through a bunch of numbers though.

@lordphobos

no option to enter last 4 digits to get phone number,

you need to change phone number and then you will see full number,

and an change your phone number up to 4 times every 30 days until you like some number.

thanks...that's annoying. Setting up a phone for my daughter and would like to have the same last digits and my wife and I. They need to update their FAQ
