Can old public mobile users change their phone number to a designated number?

I have 2 active phone numbers and need to cancel one of them. I want to keep my phone number with another company, but also want to keep my phone plan with a public cell phone. Wondering if this is possible?

HI@cdzxh 

Yes, possible.  Just port in the number from another carrier into PM. 

make sure the other carrier account is active. Then go into Public Mobile My Account, Profile page and click Transfer phone number and enter the account number to request porting

是的，有可能。 只需将另一家运营商的帐号 (account number) 输入 PM 即可。

确保其他运营商帐户处于活动状态。 然后进入公共手机我的帐户 (My Account)，个人资料页面 (Profile)，点击转移电话号码并输入另一家运营商的帐号 (account number) 以请求电话号码转移

我有 2 个有效电话号码，需要取消其中一个。 我想保留另一家公司的电话号码，但也想保留公共手机的电话计划。 想知道这是否可能？

you meant can you get a specific number? If you own the number with PM before and you lost it not long ago, and the number is not assigned yet, it might be possible.  But if you never oen that number, turn likely not.

You can port in a number being used by another service, but you cannot designate a particular number, only a series of similar numbers with the requested extension.
