Number porting help

[Okaywhatever]

I am switching from public to freedom, I have freedom my account number, but the number has not been ported. 

[Nezgar]

Since this is for porting from Public to Freedom, "normal" process would be to leave active PM SIM in phone, then contact Freedom to retry initiating another port-authorization-text from their side.

If after that the PAT still does not come through, then I would open a ticket with Public Mobile customer service agents to see if there's anything they can do...

1. Quickest way :  Call Freedom and ask them to re-trigger the porting process..  Then PM will send you a text and you reply YES within 90 mins

2.not as quick way :  use the link mentioned earlier to open a ticket with PM.  It is not that hard , just follow through

3. Slowest :  If you don't like the link, then you can message PM directly:

@Okaywhatever    I think you need to contact FM and ask them to have PM re-send the porting transfer text.  Keep the PM SIM in your phone until you are able to reply YES to that request.

Tickets are opened via the chatbot bubble bottom right of screen or you can send a private message via the envelope icon top right to CS_Agent.

Edit:  Here's couple of links to customer service:  https://widget.telus.tiia.ai/publicmobile/publicmobile.html

The issue is I had kept the PM sim in the phone, but never received a text. Double checked the account number, still nothing.

@Okaywhatever    Is/was your account with PM active at time of porting to FM?  It needs to active unless you are transferring your number to Koodo/Telus whereby some grace period for non active accounts is allowed.

@hTideGnow    Well we don't know if OP has mixed them up either yet...so your mistaken assumption could be right after all...  😁

@Okaywhatever 

If you are porting from pm to freedom then you need to call freedom's porting department to sort out your porting problem.

If you did not recieve the PAT (porting authorization text) from pm then you need to open a support ticket.

Transferring Your Public Mobile Number To Another Service Provider

To help protect our customers from fraud, Public Mobile will send you an SMS text message should we receive a request to transfer your mobile phone number to another carrier. This step is designed to protect your account by confirming if the request is genuine or fraudulent.

If you have made a request to port your number to another carrier and have not received an SMS from Public Mobile to confirm your request, please open our chatbot via this link. This will put you in touch with our moderator team who will be able to assist you.

We hope that you found this helpful! Feel free to visit this Help Article for more information.

@hTideGnow    Unless OP has got his providers mixed up for porting from and to, he says he's porting from PM to Freedom Mobile.

@Okaywhatever   did you reply to a text from Freedom or did you reply within 90 minutes?

if you missed that, there is a number you can call and ask PM to re-trigger the process.  I will send you.  Please check your Community inbox, envelop on the top right.

Just have your Freedom SIM in a phone and get ready for the text  🙂

Ticket with PM is your friend.  You can open a ticket regarding port out text issue with this direct link:

@Okaywhatever    You'll need to keep the PM SIM in your phone to authorize the transfer request by replying YES.  You should have 90 minutes from receiving the request to replying.
