Help please

[Sitwat]

I am waiting for text message to transfer my existing phone number to another connection and it’s been three hours but I have received a text or email yet. Please help with my matter.

@Sitwat   You got the text yet?  If not, open ticket with PM using this direct link:

If you're transferring to a non-Telus owned brand, you cannot port out until you pay for/renew your Public Mobile plan.

On your overview page does the account status say active?

Usually you will need to get the help from the new provider. But the old provider account needs to remain active if you're not going to Telus or Koodo. Then as you have you need to leave the old sim in to wait for a text to confirm.

Are you portiing from Public Mobile to another carrier or are you porting the number to Public Mobile? Please ensure that the old carrier's SIM card is still in your phone or that text message won't be received.  As it's been 3 hours, you'll need to to contact the carrier that you're porting to (the new carrier) to continue troubleshooting the number porting.

Is your old sim (and not your new PM sim) in the phone and is your old account still in good standing?
