Phone verification not working

Good morning,

I am setting up a new PM account and am in the process of transferring my landline phone number over. I believe I am on the final step for transferring, I have already added all my current landline provider information, now I am being asked to enter a verification code sent to my email (which has worked), and right after I am being sent a second verification code to my landline however I am not receiving that code. I have tried resending the code at least a dozen times, I have tried both the call and text options and neither are working. The call verification has worked for all other steps.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Hello @Captain1950 

Landlines can take up to 7 business days to port over. I'd suggest contacting your land phone company and advise them you have made a porting request from Public Mobile and you authorize the port. That way it skips a step.

The verification is not required for porting a landline but it may take up to 5 days to port over to PM.

Meanwhile, your landline will continue to work.

Try testing your cell phone (internet, text in out, call in out). You may find that you have partial service and the rest of service will complete in about 3 to 5 days. If you still cannot get a complete transfer, message. A customer agent:
