Yes, it forced me to do so. I logged into public mobile online to check my data usage for my phone number I have for the last 6 years, originally transferred from a different provider 3-4 years ago. Once I logged in I could not get into any information about my current plan (it was 1gb for $23), instead it always prompted me to the same page to choose a subscription plan. Again, I did log in with my same email address connected to my currently working phone plan with public mobile. Once I picked a plan and entered the infos it wanted, it told me to continue the setup my account in the app (which I of course already had as well) and when I wanted to transfer my number it said invalid number for transfer? I then could not submit a service ticket either, it said my account set up was incomplete, but I could not continued setting it up without choosing a new phone number.
So now I have a new number and subscription (eSIM) and my previous working SIM card with my previous number, which I still can not find any informations on about my plan that I am however still paying for and using? Again, same email address.
I did submit a service ticket now and will have to wait and see what happened. This is ridiculous and absolutely not acceptable.
