first of all, completely, edit your post of all personal information as this is a public forum of other customers.

@Lyndsie All you need to do is get a new SIM card and contact support to SIM card swap the number for you to stay with Public mobile . But since Telus and PM are they same umbrella maybe Telus can do this for you if you already set up an account with them for your son . I’d start there with Telus might be easier

@Lyndsie

you won’t need to purchase a new PM SIM card as he’s activating with a Telus company.

contact Public Mobile, customer support agent to advise that you wish them to approve a manual port out.
