Problems porting from Koodo to Public using eSIM

gdanthony — Wed, 29 Nov 2023 06:58:38 GMT

Hello,

Yesterday I successfully ported 4 numbers from Koodo to Public Mobile using eSIMs, but the fifth number I tried to port is having issues. I received the text from Koodo to authorize the port and replied "Yes" and I received an email from Koodo confirming that the previous account is cancelled. I then received a text from Public Mobile saying to restart my phone and I did, but the number never connected to the eSIM. I can still see the number attached to the Koodo SIM and if I call the phone it still rings through Koodo. I have tried removing the Koodo SIM and resetting the network settings on the phone multiple times and have restarted the phone multiple times with no change. I tried submitting a ticket, but the form will not accept the "N/A" they ask to be entered for an eSIM in place of the SIM number as it will accept numerical entry only. I sent a private message to CS_Agent, but have not received a reply yet and I really need to get this working ASAP. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Just to update this for anyone else having similar issues, the Public Mobile porting support could not help as this was an issue with provisioning the SIM on my account. I had to send a message to CS_Agent and wait. They got back to me and had me purchase a physical SIM card to use instead of the eSIM. This did not fix my issues. The customer service agent escalated my case to the network support team and they did something on the back end and it started working after a couple of hours.

I am having a similar issue. The CS agents are not helpful. How did you get it escalated?

I used the physical SIM that I was asked to purchase so I don't know if the eSIM would work now or not. When I was messaging with the customer service rep, they asked me to purchase a physical SIM card (they credited my account for the cost). I tried activating that SIM and it still didn't work so I messaged them back to let them know and the response I got was "It appears the SIM card change has made possible the detection of some network errors for #XXXXXXXXXX. The port is completed, but I`ll open a network ticket for these issues and let you know once we get a resolution." A couple of hours after that, I noticed that it was connected and working properly.
