I transferred a second phone from Telus and they didn’t contact me if it was ok and Public has no service

If the OP didn't authorize their port request and it fails it would be better if they contact customer support to sort out the provisioning issue first. There is no point in porting in a phone number to a non functioning sim card then they will have no service at all. Once the CSA provisions the sim card so it has outgoing services they can reinitiate the porting in of the telus number. This way the OP has a working service with telus until their pm service gets up and running after that the telus port will likely complete in a couple of minutes after replying YES to the PAT.

@esjliv   true, i think CS support could do that together.  Personally I have bias thinking Porting team handle porting issue faster.. maybe I should rethink about that..

@softech  - yes, opening a ticket would make more sense.

Since there are no services they could do the one and done option.

But doing both is unnecessary if they need to open a ticket anyhow. just sayin'.

[softech]

Oh @esjliv   , you might though I ask OP to do one of the two... .No, i meant to ask OP to do them both .. my point 1 and point 2.. in fact, what's why I lay out 1 and 2.. he should do 1 before 2.. technically.

@esjliv   no , that won't, that's why my advise to OP  also ask him to open ticket with PM  , i talked about that before porting

@softech 

Yes, I suppose they could call to see if porting was successful; I just don't see how it will help with to get any services going on the PM SIM card is all.

@softech  OP said "Public has no service", so how will the Telus Porting Phone number help get services?

[softech]

@jackiezad   you have requested porting?  Did  you got a text from Telus asking for your approval of porting and did you reply YES?

and you said PM has has no service ?  you cannot even make outgoing calls?

You might have 2 issues to due with (do them both.. )

1. Sound like you could have SIM provisioning issue if you cannot even make outgoing calls.  No worry, it is an easy fix.  Just open ticket with PM Support:

@jackiezad  - after activating you should have some services right away.

Try some troubleshooting:

*turn off your phone, leave off for a few minutes, then reboot

*removing your SIM, then reinserting it

*go into airplane mode, then going back to regular mode

*reset network settings on your device

*Is your phone locked? Contact your previous provider to unlock it for you. You will need your imei number, dial *#06# to get it.

*Check if your phone is blacklisted here: https://www.devicecheck.ca/check-status-device-canada/

If you just ported your phone number from another cell provider it could take a few hours to complete the port.

Using the other cell provider's SIM you should be still receiving calls on it, until the port completes.

If you ported from a landline it could take up to 7 days to complete.

Make sure you do not cancel your previous provider's services.

Incoming calls are usually the last to port over.

@jackiezad 

You need to leave the Telus SIM card in the phone and wait for a SMS text to confirm you are porting over to PM. There is a 90 minute window for you to reply back.

If you missed replying to the text, contact a CS_Agent to restart the process.
