How to port my number

@computergeek541- Agreed. I never said they could. The regulars know full well how to edit their replies after the OP edits their subject line. If they don't then they just don't want to bother. That's when you come in which is not fair to put that burden on you. But hey...20 bucks. 🙂

Follow-on replies can also subsequently edit their replies to replies that have been edited and also re-acquire the new subject line from that edited reply.

I've got that part, but the OP can't force the member who replied to make that edit that would update the title for that individual post.

It could also follow along with replies to replies after someone edits a reply.
But the OP has to do the first edit. Obviously sometimes that doesn't happen.

Yes, but unfortunately, it's not something that the OP of the thread can make happen.

Due to a problem with the design of the software by Khoros, repllying to this thread makes it so that the OP could not remove the phone number from the thread. I have removed the phone numbers invdividually from each of the neccessary posts.

@Ron14

To have your number successfully ported over to PM. You must follow these steps IN ORDER:

- Purchase a PM SIM from a Telus/Koodo store or at Canadian Cell Supplies online or Amazon.ca or from PM (note at PM may take up to 3 weeks to arrive).

- Activate SIM online on a laptop or computer.

- Leave old SIM in the phone and wait for text confirming with YES that you are porting over to PM. Note that your old account must be active and you have 90 minutes to reply to the text or porting will not be completed.

- Leave your old SIM in your phone for continue service. Service will stop once porting is completed and this may take up to 2 hours.

- Power off the phone and swap the SIM and power on the phone.

Welcome to PM.

Additional info on porting

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
