Curious, you entered IMEI for porting info?

Error 821 is usually because you entered IMEI but the system is expecting Account number of your old carrier

First, check if PM charged you money already. If not, you can try activation again with Account number instead

if PM already charged you, DO NOT try activation again. Let us know and we can advise further

Try logging in to PM using incognito mode...se if that helps.

Check with bank to see if payment went through on the first attempt.

yes they charge it twice on my credit card. It says enter your IMEI or account number. I am with 7-eleven Speakout wireless. I can see a SKU: 343474 would it be the account number?

A SKU isn't an account number. Speakout doesn't have account number that can be used for number porting. Please use your device's IMEI.

Check this post about porting from Speakout. You might want to use phone number as the account number as Speakout does not have account number

Add: But dont try to activate again. Can you put the PM sim card on the phone amd see of it connects to PM network?

I think the proper way for you to do is to open ticket with PM support and have them to sort out the situation and refund you tje extra charges

Message them to open ticket
