Approve Porting Number to New Provider

[bakoukou]

I am travelling long-term and requested to port my number to Fongo. They say Public Mobile will text me to approve the port, but I cannot receive text messages abroad. How else can I approve the port?

Thanks!

Perfect, thank you!

[bakoukou]

Thank you for the detailed instructions, I've done exactly that!

After the porting process has been started, a ticket will need to be opened to contact a Pubolic Mobile customer support agent.  This customer support agent will be able to manually allow the phone number trransfer.  Tickets to Public Mobile customer support agents need to be opened using the chatbot:   https://widget.telus.tiia.ai/publicmobile/publicmobile.html

@bakoukou   you will need to see if PM support will take the approval verbally instead of text.  i think it is possible.  But important part is, the account must be still ACTIVE
