Number change

[Kjtoffle]

I just changed my number online how long does it take to work ?

HI@Kjtoffle   It should be almost instant. 

Try to reboot your phone every 5 mins

@Kjtoffle 

It should be immediately. If it's not working either change numbers again or contact customer support for their assistance. After rebooting your phone first.

To contact customer support : Submit a support ticket via SIMon the chat bot Click here 

Or if you cannot submit a ticket via SIMon then Click here   ....for additional member supplied info.

@Kjtoffle   Most of the time it's instantaneous, but I've experienced it taking upto half hour or so once.

@Kjtoffle   I think the key is to reboot your phone.  If you have not done so, please reboot it first

(and by changing, you are picking a new number and you are not porting in, right?)

Immediately. If not, reboot your phone.

[Kjtoffle]

Yes I changed it on my online account. Also called the number from another phone to see if it worked and someone else answered

@Kjtoffle   If someone else answered, then you been given a number that is already assigned to another customer and really shouldn't happen but others have reported that too. 

So now your option is to go back and make another number change as PM permits 4 changes within 30 days.

@Kjtoffle yes this is a glitch with Telus/Koodo/PM.  For some reason, they will give out existing numbers to choose.  Just gio back and pick another one.
