Account number wrong while changing plans

Ary_ — Mon, 01 Jan 2024 06:39:04 GMT

I was told that my Account number is incorrect from Public Mobile when changing to another plan, but it’s the right account number. What do I do?

@Ary_ do you have multiple accounts with PM??

it was PM CS agent telling you the account was wrong?? If so, best to work with them to get that sorted out, they will offer you other validation questions if you are unable to answer the account number

I only have one PM account, I wanted switch to another Sim plan but I was told by the other company that my account number was incorrect and they’re not sure why. They told me to talk to Public Mobile fix the issue.

Yes I did, but they told me it’s incorrect. I checked multiple times and I was still told it was incorrect.

@Ary_ the number should be correct, did you copy the correct number of digits, especially correct number of zeros?? you can confirm with PM support and check if they got any porting request for your phone number. Please open ticket here

Yes, I’m not sure why my account number isn’t working.

@Ary_ Will the new provider accept the port using the IMEI number instead of the account number?
