Phone Number transfer

It's been about 24 hours since I requested a phone number transfer. It still hasn't happened and I can't make calls on my phone. From what I've read it should happen within 5 hours. What do I do?

@erichmon 

What about data? incoming and outgoing texts? 

You could try a simple reboot of your phone.  Then network reset of phone (note: this will erase any saved Wifi passwords).

hi @erichmon 

i guess you will need to message PM support agent using the link provided by @computergeek541  above

This is not something that you can do yourself. Please use the method provided earlier to contact Public Mobile.

hi @erichmon 

i assume that is a porting in request ?

Did you get a text from the old carrier, did you reply Yes within 90 mins?

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 (https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/notes/privatenotespage), check for the number and call


Please do not direct customers to call the porting support team phone number for issues such as this as they cannot assist.  It's true that number might not be complete, but in cases of outgoing calls not working, that's unrelated to number porting.  If the port gets completed now (if it's incomplete right now), that would be a bad thing.  With an incomplete port, the customer would otherwise still have access to the phone number at the old carrier. Completing the port now would send the phone number to a non-working Public Mobile service.

The above isn't an issue related to number porting.  Outgoing phone calls should have worked immediately.  This could be an issue with the setup of your account.   Try asking CS_Agent at 
https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/notes/composepage/note-to-user-id/22437 to check the provisioning of service on your account.
