Can I use my active Chatter phone number to switch to Public mobile

[carlozbambino]

I have been with Chatter Wireless for the last 5 years, and I'm planning to switch to Public Mobile.

Can I carry my phone number from Chatter to Public Mobile if I want to switch?

@carlozbambino,

For new customers, please note that Public Mobile is currently in BETA.

They are temporarily accepting new customers only by invitation.

To join the BETA phase, you must register here : http://publicmobile.ca/en/on/beta

You will be contacted by email within a few weeks. Once you receive your invitation code, you will be able to subscribe on Public Mobile and order a free of charge SIM card.

For now, there is no faster way to subscribe on Public Mobile. They are in BETA to make sure everything works perfectly before the official launch.

Hi,

To add to and emphasize what DK said, do NOT cancel your Chatr account. Once porting is successfully done, your former account will be automatically deactivated.

Welcome to Public Mobile!

Yes it is called porting your number. Setup the public mobile number first and then when you are up and running merely port your number using the self serve website.

As soon as you port you old Chatr account will be deactivated by Chatr.

Cheers
