Hi, My husband is stuck with 2 phones for the last 4 days. Public Mobile hasnt transfered (im told its a portal issue) over completely so he has to carry around 2 phones and is getting charged by both service providers. How can I let public mobile know of this?

In this case, porting refers to softech's question about if you're trying to transfer a phone number from another carrier to Public Mobile (or vice versa).

To complete the porting your husband old number. The old SIM MUST be left in the phone and wait for the text from the old carrier to confirm the porting to PM. There will 90 minute window to confirm or the porting is aborted.

Did he do this?

If not, his old SIM should still work if his account is still active with the old carrier.

Make sure to leave old sim in phone to get confirmation text to allow the port. Check email icon top right. I will send you a number to call.
