Open a ticket and ask agent for assistance.

If you did NOT pay your bill for 90+ days your account after no-pay suspension during 90 days has been closed and you cannot get your old number back.

OPEN a Ticket!

If you stopped payment for LESS than 90 days. Just login to your Suspended account and make a manual payment with your CC on file or with vouchers. You can purchase vouchers from these locations then dial 611 and enter the voucher number and pin.

If you stopped payment LONGER than 90 days then your number has been returned to the carrier you originally got the number from but your SIM/eSIM will stop working and your account is now closed with PM.

You can also check the status of your account by calling 1-855-4PUBLIC. If your account is Suspended then make a manual payment. If the system can’t locate your number then your account is closed.

If your number is a Telus, Koodo or PM number. You are in luck and contact a CS_Agent to retrieve the number back for you.

If it was a Rogers or Bell number. You need to contact them and open a new account with them. If you don’t want to open an account with them then you need to purchase a new SIM and open a new account and pick a new number.
