@marzougui -

After receiving the approval text from the old provider's SIM card, the port should being. Incoming calls are normally the last to port over. You can use your old provider's sim card until incoming calls stop.

Then insert the public mobile SIM card, restart your phone, and check that all services are working.

If you are still having issues after contacting the Telus Porting Number Team (from the number that was sent to you via private message), than submit a ticket to Public Mobile CSA to assist with your new account.

Two ways to contact CSA:

1- Put in a ticket through SIMon Bot (usually faster method to get in contact with the Public Mobile Customer Support agents=CSA) by clicking here:

OR
2- Private message CSA here (slower method) by clicking here:

The generic text message that Public Mobile sends has inaccuraries. Most likely, no one from Public Mobile will contact you. Also, when looking for the information mention, you shouldn't be looking for anything called an ESN or MEID becaues you won't find one for your phone. Neither are used any longer. It's the IMEI that can be used.

Could you please send that number to me as well? I also received a message yesterday telling me that I had entered the incorrect ESN/MEID number when I was trying to transfer my phone number.

Thank you.
