Error message when transferring number

Raye666

I'm trying to transfer my landline number to my cell phone. When I type it in, I get the error, "We were unable to transfer the phone number you entered." then it tells me to make sure I typed it in right, or to get a new number, or ask here.

 

The provider of the wired number is wightman.ca. Any advice?

I'm not sure whether there are any issues with porting a number from Owen Sound, but @computergeek541 is correct that there are certain numbers not available for porting.  If that porting tool is also giving an error, then it may not be eligible.

 

Check with a CS Agent (staff) to see if they can look into it.  I'm not sure who that provider is, and if they're a smaller player, it may be possible that's part of the issue.  Let us know what you find out!  🙂

Not all phone numbers can be transfered.  Which city is the phone number from?
