Instead of those crappy badges we get for '3 subject post!' and 'First Bravo!', we should really be getting badges that focus on how long you've been missing service.
Public Mobile should give out '3 weeks without service!' or 'failed port!' or 'Triple charged credit card!' badges. I think that way we can all have more badges, and compare our wounds inflicted by this 'company'.
For some, this would like getting a Dunce Cap.
Some have had very legitimate issues; some are at fault themselves.
On a serious note: I am actually a bit surprised that there is not an official step by step tutorial posted. Many have had 100% successful activations and ports, but they cannot really say for certain what they did right (or more importantly what others have done wrong). As a result people are posting what they did that worked, not really knowing which aspects were required, and which were not.
When we go to a kiosk to have our accounts changed, the people do this day in and out therefore know exactly how to switch people around and port numbers (as well as knowing the little gotchas when porting from various providers). We do not.
I do not expect anyone at PM to hand hold me (thus the reduced costs which I love); but an official KB (posted by a mod) would help so many.
edit:
I did find this:
http://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Getting-Started/How-do-I-move-my-cell-phone-number-to-...
But if you read it, the instructions are vague and loosey goosey (e.g. provide one of 3 of this info). I provided all 3 and it worked, so I would suggest (incorrectly) to do all 3. There should be a definitive Provide this and this or that. And if providing this, ensure that it is typed in like this. etc...
I also note that the screen shot does not have the "I am auth." radio button clicked
