Why didn't you contact an CS_Agent after you lost service right away and not wait so long to inquire it?

If your account is still active with your previous carrier then you can port your number over to PM.

But if you closed the account then your number has been returned to the carrier you got the number from.

@lionrockhk 

if it has been over a month, the original porting request would have been expired already

You can certainly re-request, but make sure

  1. the number with the old account is still active
  2. you still have the old provider sim card or eSIM and can still receive calls and texts.   You need that because your old provider will send you a text and you need to reply Yes to your old provider

If you have both above ready, you can login to your My Account using a browser, then go to Profile > Transfer phone number and enter the old provider information.  Once request, insert your old physical sim card and enable your old provider eSIM.  Wait for your old provider to send you a porting authorization text to your old sim and reply Yes within 90 mins to approve the port.

You will need to create a ticket with Public Mobile on expert messaging and see if they are able to assist you https://expert-messaging.publicmobile.ca/guest/pre-chat

I'm not sure whether they would be able to get your old number back or not, but that is how you would get in touch with Public Mobile support.
