Activation Issue

[hmdirschl]

When I activated my new Public Mobile account, I asked to have my PC Mobile number ported over.  I received no warnings as was able to setup my account and activate it using my old PC Mobile number. I have been able to make outbound calls and texts, but I cannot receive inbound ones.  I chatted with the bot (which is an excruciatingly unhelpful experience) and learned that I should have requested a new number and then ported my old number from PC Mobile to my new Public Mobile account by submitting a ticket.  Its obviously too late for that.  What am I to do now?

Thanks, I am on hold now and will hopefully have a resolution soon.

@hmdirschl      Are you saying you were able to transfer your PC Mobile number at activation?   AFAIA, both PC Mobile and Koodo prepaid require customer support to do the transfer and you are required to take a temporary PM number at activation.  You also need to keep your old account active until the transfer is complete.

You will need to contact customer service agent for help complete port.  Your port is stuck. Able to sent text and call out, but unable to receive at your number.  

You could try to put your old carrier SIM card back to your phone.  It still should be working.
