Alternate phone number in the my plan section

[zblackma]

Has anyone ever got a call from PM? I'm curious since looking at some of the problems posted here, I would think they would have. Thanks.

Thankyou. Appreciate that you took the time to reply. Will accept this as my solution.

@zblackma  @popping  is correct that it can also be used as an identifier for verification purposes. The escalations department of public mobile will call customers to settle disputes or leave a number for the customer to call that department.

No calls, only text messages.

I never heard of getting call from them

I only heard about the problems with the port. People did receive calls from  pm/Telus employees if information was insufficient or something was wrong. I never heard of any other call which doesn't mean it didn't happen, so I would still keep the correct alternative number. If you don't have any I recommend fongo.
