@Pirate438 - if you did not pass the payment section and were not charged for the SIM card activation, then open a tab in incognito mode to go through the activating process again.

Or, you may activate using the: Public Mobile Online Activation Assistance, but this is currently closed right now, so you'd need to wait until tomorrow to go this route.

HOURS OF OPERATION: 8:00am - 5:00pm PST / 11:00am - 8:00pm EST

@Pirate438  there’s no one to talk to everything’s done online , but you can try again, I’m guessing you gave the IMEI number to port … some info on porting number 

When transferring (porting) your number to any new carrier it’s important to remember to leave the old providers SIM card in the phone until you receive the confirmation text from old carrier @that point you have 90 mins to reply YES to the confirmation text … also when going thru this process the new provider will want you old providers account number and will ask for IMEI number disregard this (IMEI) number as it has a tendency to just cos porting hiccups .. so if your ready to port to pm and already activated a SIM card you can go to your self serve serve profile tab and change /transfer (port) number this can also be done on activation but it’s advised to pick a temp number first then port

There is no phone number for Public Mobile.  This is the entire business models to over good prices in return for the company being able to save money. The only meothod to contact Public Mobile was provided earlier.

I believe that error message is of an error during activation specifically when someone has requested a number to be ported in. Did you request a number to be ported in?  Check if your credit card was charged.  If you were not charged, you can simply start over with the activation. If your credit card was charged, check to see if the Public Mobile service is working.  If you were charged and either the Public Mobile service isn't working or if your Self Serve account doesn't allow you to log in you, will need to open ticket to ask a Public Mobile customer support agent for hlep. That's done through the chatbot.  https://widget.telus.tiia.ai/publicmobile/publicmobile.html

@Pirate438  first check your credit card and make sure you weren’t charged if not you can try again and only use the account number from old provider not the IMEI number
