Porting Out from Phonebox
After seeing a question about porting out from Phonebox I thought it would be a good idea to have a handy reference in the community. The unusual aspect about Phonebox is the porting request must be made initially with them.....essentially pre-authorization of the port request. Phonebox then contacts the customer within 2 business days with the account # that they can provide the new provider (in this case public mobile) who can then contact Phonebox to make the porting request. The porting in of the Phonebox # can take up to 3 to 5 days to complete.
Follow these basic steps to port your phone # in from Phonebox :

I see. Looks like it isn't telling you what is actually wrong, just possibilities. If you have entered all that information correctly, and it still isn't working, you probably need to contact the Moderator Team to look into it.

Can you provide more details? When you say you have had no luck - at what point in the process did it go wrong?
