Can't get Authentication SMS

Yaq — Wed, 02 Aug 2023 13:10:46 GMT

My partner recently transfered their old number and can't get any authentication sms. They can't login. They can't submit requests. This is a disaster. Please submit help asap.

@Yaq

PM just changed to a new EverSafe login system and you need to complete the setup on this new system.

Have you login to My Account since EverSafe was introduced?

If you have already created an EverSafe id, you can ask the code to send to email instead
On the screen it is expecting you to enter the code, click Resend code and then choose Send email

If you have not created an EverSafe id yet, you won't be able complete the part to link your My Account with the EverSafe ID, that needs a working phone with a working PM sim using SMS. (Sending the code to email would not be a choice until EverSafe id is fully setup)

Try these workarounds, it could bypass the SMS in linking My Account with EverSafe ID

Reset your password to self service account. Once reset, sign in again with new password. Might be able to receive 2FA via email instead to gain access.
(!!!You will need to click Resend Code and then Send email to trigger the 2FA to email)
Potential workaround (for some): If you don't have access to SMS OTP, try entering an incorrect OTP code 4 times. For some individuals, this is giving the option of an email instead.

If none of those workarounds helps, please open ticket with support by direct message here:

same, except that we can login. Waited 2 weeks as that is what "techs" recommended. still no good. Get texts and data fine, just 2FA from no one. tried looking at the settings , they were good.

@Yaq Ways to contact Public Mobile Customer Support (CSA) below:

1-Normally Faster - use this link to: Get Help With Public Mobile Chatbot], also found in various places in Public webpages, OR

2-go to your envelope at the top right of your Community Account which is where your Inbox and Sent messages are. Select the orange/peach color box with the pencil inside it to start a new message. Type CS_Agent in the SEND TO box. This will create a private message to Public Mobile Customer Support (link is provided in #3 below as well).

3 -Use this link (same as #2) Private Message to Public Mobile Customer Support Agents (CSA)

When he transferred over did he reply YES to the port request from the old provider?
