I just got signed up for Public Mobile (PM) and as soon as I transferred my number over and went through the activation process, I got a text message that says "We're having trouble transferring your number. Looks like you entered an incorrect ESN/MEID. Someone from our team will contact you shortly." How long is it usually before someone gets in touch with me so I can get this sorted out? Can I reach out to someone in the meantime?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Although I would say that it's not impossible that someone from the Telus porting centre might phone you, I believe that it's more likely that no one will try to contact you. So don't wait, and do as the suggestion from earlier says and contact Public Mobile first. The moderators will submit the updated informaiton.
By the way, which carrier are you coming from? Unless it's from Speakout or Petro Canada, I would not use IMEI again, especially since it has already failed. I would use the account number from your old carrier if you have it.

@JimmyBobFred contact the moderators and resend the required information. Type " Port Request " and follow the prompts to get to one. Give them the name on the account, number to port, and the old providers account number. Along with the information asked for. There are 2 ways to contact the Moderator Team:
Once connected to Simon, you will be asked to log in again with your community user name and password. Please do, this allows you to continue and send your message.
- Check your private message sent box (click on the envelope top right of your screen) to make sure the message was sent.
- Keep an eye on the envelope top right of your screen. The mods answer will show up there. When it does, you will be asked to verify your self service account, with your password and login. Doing so allows the process to continue. Stay safe.
