Number transfer did not work

Tjp1

I have recently joined public mobile. I followed the steps to port my old number to public mobile. I have send yes to my old provider for transfer. Then I got a text saying the transfer did not worked and it is asking me to download telus app and restart the process but I tried all the steps and nothing is going forward. I went to my public mobile app and tried to do the transfer again but it says enter a valid canadian no. So nothing is working.

Now my old virgin service is no longer active to get messages.

What should I do?

Once a number port has been requested and failed, the process cannot be simply restarted by downloading an app.  Also, the Telus app will be of no use for managing a Public Mobile account.  There is a specific Public Mobile app.  A Public Mobile customer support agent is need to help you out with this.  Send a message to CS_Agent through https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/notes/composepage/note-to-user-id/22437 if restarting/rebooting your phone doesn't fix things.

you can call this number to get the port redone...click the little envelop icon on top right side of page for the number, I'll send you.
