Phone number not eligible for port

[Cakehouse]

I'm a new customer, already subscribed a mobile plan and trying to transfer my phone number to PM.  I Got 2 texts: 

"Hey, it's Public Mobile. We're having trouble transferring your number. Looks like you entered an incorrect ESN/MEID. Someone from our team will contact you shortly ......"

it's been 6 hrs , nobody contact me 

I tried using the App to transfer my phone number, but I got "Phone number is not eligible for port" 

Can anybody help me with that? Hightly appreciated!

@Cakehouse 

The porting team number that @hTideGnow sent you will be able to help you out. The reason you are seeing the ineligible to port number error is because the port was in progress but encountered an error. Call the number and give them your account number from your previous provider and you’ll be good to go. 

Remember to have your old provider’s SIM card in your phone to answer yes to the text you’ll receive authorizing the port. Once you lose service on that SIM card, that is the sign to put in the public mobile SIM card and reboot your phone.

@Cakehouse - you can check to see if your number can be ported from this Koodo website (Telus owns Koodo and Public Mobile), so, same allowances here:

...but it is likely the IMEI issue.

Are you porting over a Koodo number?
