If do not have incoming calls or text message and your just ported your phone number to PM,
FYI: Number porting is a 2 stage process:
Stage 1. After submitted your porting request, PM set up your old number on your PM account. Login to your account. Select the [Plan and Add-Ons] tab. Is your old number showing on the [Plan and Add-Ons] display?
If yes, PM has done its work to setup your old number for you to call out, send text and data.
If no, you should create a support ticket for moderator to investigate. Moderator wait time is up to 2 days. https://publicmobile.ca.ada.support/chat/
Stage 2. Now, you are waiting for your old provider to release you number to PM. Not until your old provider release your number, all the incoming calls and texts will continue to go to your old provider. You can continue to use the old provider SIM card until it stops working which is the indication that your number was released to PM.

@Mandi if you ported your number from another cell provider it can take up to 3 hours to complete, if from a landline or voip provider up to 7 days. Insert your old providers sim to receive calls and messages. When it stops, your port is complete.
If its from a cell provider and its been more than 3 hours, your port is probably stuck. Contact the moderators and ask them to fix it for you. 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.

If you only recently ported your number from somewhere else...that process can take a couple of hours depending on your old provider.
Your old sim should still work until port is complete.

@Mandi Did you recently activate your account and port your number from a previous carrier?
