I'm trying to get Public Mobile to port my phone number to Virgin Mobile, without success.

@hTideGnow The customer is porting out, not in. I'm not sure why the Public Mobile app transfer number facility somehow got involved as per an earlier post by the OP.

PM won't communicate with Virgin Mobile. This has been going on since last night.

I don't see the number.

Did you get a text from the old carrier, did you reply YES?
and can you receive inbound phone calls, especially from Non-Telus/Koodo/PM phone? If you cannot the port was not done
It could be an incomplete port. PM porting support team can help. I have sent you the porting support team number. Please check your Community inbox (envelope on top right), check for the number and call

Both Virgin and I have been trying to get this done, but PM won't respond.

@willmother In the App there's an option to transfer your number, but I get a message saying: "Phone number not eligible for port".
Do you mean the Public Mobile app? If so and you are porting out, that's not how you do it, in the PM app the transfer is for porting into Public Mobile. You need keep your PM sim in your phone and get Virgin to initiate the port, then reply to the Public Mobile permission text with YES within 90 mins.

I ported it from Virgin Mobile.

was it originally a PM / Telus number or did you port in to PM from somewhere else when you activated your PM account ?

watch the little envelop icon on top right side of page will be highlighted when they do respond. If it's been awhile, try this link to message Customer Support..

they should send you a sms to confirm you want to port out, to which you must reply YES within 90 mins. Have you rec'd that sms ?

PM won't respond to Virgin Mobile's request.

you start that process with new provider. Make sure your old PM account is still Active. Make sure to leave PM sim in phone until port to new provider is successful.
