Number Transfer Failed

Hello!

I tried to transfer from TELUS to Public Mobile, and I've been experiencing a lot of stress. I completed everything it told me to when transferring to the new public mobile plan. I noticed I now had a primary account and a business account in my settings, but I only wanted a primary account. I freed my number from TELUS, then I deleted the business account. However, I got a popup on my phone saying my number transfer failed and that I should contact Public Mobile. Whenever I go to the support chatbot to get a ticket, it gives me "Forbidden A1" when I try to get one. I cannot log back into my Public Mobile account nor my Telus account. I cannot make or receive any calls. By deleting the business account, did I inadvertently delete my number? Can anyone please help me on what to do to get my number back? I'm very stressed right now.

This is the worst customer service experience! There is actually no customer service at all! No CS agent got back to us. My daughter ended up going back to Telus store and switched her phone services back to Telus. Shame on Public Mobile. I am leaving Public Mobile too! Should never considered this provider at all!

No, I have not receive any response yet. I just messaged the CS_Agent again and requesting this issue to be escalated to a customer service manager. It is VERY frustrating as my daughter is on day 2 without phone services. 

HI @Li_Ding 

support agent usually replies in within 2 to 3 hours.  So, you checked Community inbox and no one replied yet?

If no reply, I will message them again, use this link:

Yes, I asked the same question earlier, but we still have not received a solution. We messaged CS-agent and have not received any response yet

I have merged those two threads.

You are right. They asked us to put in a ticket for a moderator to look into this issue

I've reposted the link for you, @Li_Ding 

It's highlited in purple in the link above.

FYI - the reason we don't just post it here is because Public Mobile frowns upon it being published here because people try to call it for other issues, but they're STRICTLY for porting related issues and have no ability to assist with anything else.

Hello,

My daughter is trying to transfer her mobile number from Telus to Public Mobile. She has already released her number from Telus to Public Mobile; however, the transfer has failed. She now is unable to log into her Public Mobile account. When she tried to do so, it was shown an error message saying "Forbidden A1". She followed all the steps to problem solve, but it still did not work. She now has no phone to use. Please help.
