Community Account was deleted/replaced?

[Anonymous]

I've been a Public Mobile customer for many years and had a Community account with the same email as my "My Account" for PM. These were separate accounts, with separate passwords. I'm guessing this issue is a result of the Community authentication being merged with the "My Account" and broader Telus authentication.

I haven't logged into the Community for a while. When I tried today, I was prompted to enter a nickname. I entered the nickname I had for my Community account before, and was told it's "already in use". I logged out, and tried to log back in with my Community credentials and was told the password didn't match. When I log in with my "My Account" credentials I'm prompted for a nickname again.

So, I've created a new nickname. But this is a brand new account and I've lost access to all my previous post history and support interactions. Is there anyway to get access to "proper" community account?

Thanks! I've opened a case, hopefully they can solve it.

Thank you! I do have the original registration email as well if required. I've opened a ticket to see what happens.

@Anonymous , I had the same situation as you now. It happens after the system updated to EverSafe system. Fortunately, I keep the first email I registered the public mobile community first time. I just submit a ticket to the @CS_Agent  with the email screenshot of the community account nick name. Then the agent updated manually in the system and then I can used my own. 

Hopefully you can get your nickname back.

Uh... There was a process when new system was introduced to convert (sync) your Community with My Account. Some people had issue with conversion but I believe agents were able to assist them.
If nobody of regulars know exact process, you should get in touch with agent.

To Contact CSA-agent: https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/on/get-help/articles/contact-an-agent

Ticket has to be opened through chatbot - https://widget.telus.tiia.ai/publicmobile/publicmobile.html

Just type ‘ticket’ and follow prompts. Having a ticket is preferred way to contact agent as they might respond faster then receiving personal mail.

If opening a ticket does not work very first time, contact agent directly: send a private message to the CSA - agent by clicking (Ctrl+) Here
