Incomplete port

[mythiciam]

I ported over from virgin. Data, outgoing texts and outgoing calls work. Incoming calls and texts do NOT work. I received the text from Virgin and confirmed with a YES that I want to port my number out.  Now I seem to be stuck in limbo. How can I restart the porting process or completely finish the porting process so everything works as it should?

I had a similar issue porting over from Virgin.  Don't bother with the "live chat" agent, they can't help.  I found that out the hard way, after waiting online yesterday for almost 3 hours

I finally had success by launching a "ticket", as I was 99% certain my issue was due to the Esim failing to activate. I would get a message on my phone "Unable to activate Esim. You can try again, or contact your carrier for assistance"

My suggestion is to launch a ticket- please note it took me 2 or 3 times to actually get a ticket submitted, but I think this is the quickest way to reach a tech support agent.  The porting agents can not help you with tech issues

I also tried emailing CS support and never got a response

here is how to submit ticket with agent:

at : https://publicmobile.ca/chatbot.

First type Contact,
then select the only choice there: "Contact..",
from the list of , choose "Other"
finally click link the blue link about submit a ticket

that message I sent you had the phone number for you to call for port assistance.  If it's not working, here's a link to message Customer Support. (There are no traditional "live or contact center" numbers to call...everything is done on line and in the Community Forum)

Tried that twice, it won't work for me. Keeps trying to send me a text for telus support. Cannot speak to a live agent
