Activation problem / porting from Wind to PM / can't login to self serve

[20xxtechnology]

Hi community,

I just signed up for PM and am porting my existing WIND number.

Its been about 2 hours and I haven't received any texts from Public Mobile signalling the port is done.

When I signed up I got an obscure error at the receipt page but I received the receipt in my email.

I cannot sign into self serve using the same email. I cannot reset my password as it says my email cannot be validated.

Can a mod please help me?

Hey @Melissap,

Thank you for providing us with an update !

I took a look into your port request and it has actually been completed as of November 25th 🙂 If you have any questions, don't hesitate to send us a message. Welcome to PM,

Mary

update

Ball is rolling

switched sim cards because my other old service no longer worked

got text

used text to attempt to sign in to my account

supposed to get a 'confirmation email'

don't have it yet.

also, cant send or receive calls.  which is kind of the scariest part, and why i want a cellphone to begin with.

I hope it's fixed soon.

You've tried and didn't send a text?

[Melissap]

the only way you can register is if you get a text message and of course i dont have one

[Mosor]

Try going My Account and creating a new self serve account. Once you create one check your plan details. If it doesn't have anything but pick n play but it says you have $120 credit, select change plan. Pick the fall promo and select it to start immediately. Your credits should drop down to zero.
This works for some people but not all.

@Melissap I think you might be better served creating your own new thread rather than commenting on a two week old thread that has been markedd as "solved".

i was sent an email saying i'm registered, but i can't login

1)  your login attempt failed

2)  Sorry, we’re unable to verify your email address.

i'm already paying for this service but i am not recognized as legitimate

[Melissap]

tagging mods please see my post above @Shazia_K @Mary_M

[Melissap]

1) tried activating my sim through your website

2)  received an error message

3)  tried again

4)  website now says my sim is INVALID.

5)  can't log in to the website using an account because it says i'm not registered with public mobile.

please fix

Hi all,

I'm pleased to report that Shazia_K solved my problems.

Thanks a lot for the guidance and huge thank you to Shazia for the quick help.

Hi all. I think until the promo period ends there is no point tagging moderators. Send private messages as outlined here: http://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Announcements/Information-required-before-sending-a-me.... 

Also, given the current spate of issues DO NOT port-in from an old carrier until you have an active account and service. The absolutely worst state is an inactive account and failed port-in; this often results in no service with PM AND the old carrier.

@vermatanya I would suggest you reach out to the mods separately as well so you don't get lost in this thread.

Also make sure to follow the below,

@Shazia_K @Mary_M tagging the mods as suggested

[CaNuCk07]

@20xxtechnology  Make sure if you need help from a Mod you reach out to them in 1 of two ways,

1. Tagging: Simply tag one of the above Community mods by inserting their name in your topic or reply post. For example, if I wanted to tag Shazia, I would use @Shazia_K to contact her Please do not tag Moderators multiple times for one thread- it will not make them respond any faster. While it may take them 20-30 minutes to get back to you, they will be sure to do so.
2. Private Messaging: You can do this by searching for the Community Moderator’s name or by clicking on the Community Moderator’s name or Avatar, then, on the right-side of their profile click on “Send this user a private message”

I am having the same issues; its extremely frustrating not being able to speak to a customer care individual right away. My porting has been stopped mid process - what my previous service provider told me and I have no way of getting it changed
