@C_greta2

More details would be helpful.

Was your port successful? Once you port from another company, the old carrier account is closed immediately and you can't port back unless you want to start another new account. If you port back, your new PM account will be closed.

If you entered the wrong number, your port was unlikely successful. We can offer more instructions on how to complete port.

@C_greta2 how you find out wrong number ported to PM? was the porting completed? was the 'wrong number" from the old account already closed?

Would be nice if you can provide more details

I accidentally typed in a wrong phone number, I mistyped one number

@C_greta2 no worry then. There is a number you can call to the porting support team. You can call them to tell them the correct number and provide them the account number of the old provider

I will message you the number. Please check your Community inbox. Call the porting them and they will fix it

@C_greta2

Chances are if you mis-typed the number to be ported, the end-user of that number will NOT reply "YES" to the port authorization request, thus causing them to lose their number to you during the activation process.

One would, at least, hope they wouldn't.

@HALIMACS @C_greta2 the porting won't even go through (not even a text) because of the account number/IMEI and phone number mismatch. So, no worry at all. Just need to call porting team to update the info so the porting can proceed

That is true - it shouldn't proceed to a PAT, @softech

@C_greta2 - no one is likely to reach out to you. You will need to reach out to customer support through a support ticket.

Public Mobile Representatives customer support agents (CSA) can be contacted by either two methods, found here:

https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/on/get-help/articles/contact-an-agent

OR, did you receive a phone number for the Telus porting group in your private messages? You could try calling them to resolve. If not submit a ticket by methods above.

That's all of course if the incorrect phone number was through a slip of the finger while typing. If the customer mistakenly typed in a phone number on the same account, everything would still match up (assuming account nubmer was used).
