Activation

[Ewsheppard]

When trying to activate with public and retain my old number from my previous provider it say I do not have a valid Canadian number

Though unlikely, @Ewsheppard , check below to confirm that your number can be ported here.

Some can't.   Don't get caught up by the reference to Koodo in this checker, if it can be ported there, it can be ported here.   TELUS - Koodo - Public are all under TELUS umbrella.

Hi @Ewsheppard

 are you porting from Koodo? 

if you are with Koodi prepaid plan, you have to activate with a new number first.  Omce the activation is completed, you will then need to submit ticket with CS agent and ask them help to port from your Koodo Prepaid account

@Ewsheppard this error usually means the number was entered earlier already.  Did you try activate once, got problem and then re-attempted a second time?

If so, first check your credit card and confirm if PM charged you yet.

Also, you need to message PM support to get the earlier attempt cleared up before you can try active again
