forwarding a number from freedom

yourtimetoshine — Tue, 04 Jan 2022 20:39:59 GMT

Hey everyone - I just activated my public mobile account and set up the number forwarding. I inputted the information about 15 minutes ago. How long does it take for PM to port my number from freedom mobile?

@yourtimetoshine, number porting can take anywhere from a few minutes to 24 hours. It all depends on the source (cell carrier, landline, VOIP line). Usually, if there are no hiccups, a cell port is relatively quick.

Hopefully your Freedom account is still active. Otherwise the port is guaranteed to fail.

@yourtimetoshine It can take somewhere between a few mins to a few hours as long as you correctly submitted the required information. When it successfully ports in your number, your FM sim will not work and you will receive a text on your PM sim that porting has been completed.

From my own experience and colleagues from work, Freedom (Wind) Mobile ports take 30 minutes. This is based on about a dozen sample points.

@yourtimetoshine, it verry well might. Based on the personal experiences of @will13am, If it doesn't go through in the next couple of hours, I would send a private message to the moderators team and let them know about the spelling mistake. They should be able to push it through (in the morning) for you if needed. They're back on-line at 9am (ET)
