@AlexKs do you have Koodo Prepaid service or Koodo Postpaid?

If you have Koodo Prepaid service, you will have to get a temporary new number first. Once the activation is completed and you can make and receive calls, then you will need to open ticket with PM Support for a manual porting from Koodo Prepaid account

@AlexKs So, the error screenshot in the original post was yesterday or just now?

Error 821 at the end of the process (entered number, credit card info). Today even cannot recognize phone number as Canadian. I will open ticket. Thank you

@AlexKs Error 821 is likely due to the fact that you entered the IMEI number as the porting info and not the account number.

check your credit card again to see if PM already charged you. If not , you can try again but please use Koodo account number instead as the porting info.

if you want to open ticket with PM support, please message them:

I had the exact same issue / error code (and money even gone out from my account).

I got my issue resolved by PM the cs_agent https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/notes/composepage/note-to-user-id

From my experience they were super helpful and prompt!

good luck

To transfer, I actually used Koodo account number instead of IMEI. No charges where made for failed activation. By the way, yesterday I also registered another Koodo account for the same plan (for the new phone number for my nephew) without any issues. Thank you
