I received the following "Sorry your account activation has failed" after I tried to port another number - this time from Bell.

Bell has a really hard time of following the rules from the CRTC. They will try to contact you to stop your port out, and try to keep you in their greedy little hands.
Not sure if you’re porting out a landline or not, they do take longer than cellular service, but Bell does try to interfere on a regular basis.

I don't believe that Bell actually rejected it. If you got the message on the computer screen immediately after filling out the form, I do not believe that Bell can even approve or reject a request that quickly. If they could, there'd be no reason for a wireless to to wirless tranfser to take a few hours or for a transfer from a landline to ever take a few days.
I believe this is a Public Mobile website issue and doubt that the port request was ever submitted to Bell.

I activated and got a new phone number, but I keep getting errors still when trying to Port. It says it was rejected by Bell, and I don't know why because all my info is correct.
I would contact bell and ask why it was rejected,once you have any they rejected the request then message the mods. Response time is around 48 hours right now

Adding to @krazykiwi's reply:
Porting a landline number can take several days. We recommend that you activate your SIM with a new number and then initiate the port. It minimizes the risk of not being reachable in the time it takes for the port to complete.

Is the Bell account still active? It needs to be active to be able to port.

Hello @memetis,
I'm sorry to hear about this,
Can you send me the same info via private message? (SIM card number, email, number to port and account number)
Thanks,
Shazia
