Hi, I switched freedom Mobil to public Mobil. I got text message from you to give you authority within 90 minutes but I did not reply YES. I was late to reply. Pl.send again text message request for porting number authorization. Thx.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi Rashida - I put my account number in wrong during the porting process and I ended up calling the 1-800 number for the Telus porting department who helped me through the problem. Good luck! nibor

@Braams OP issue is likely different from yours. You have a SIM provision issue as well. Hang on to it , it will get resolved and it will be good from there. Again, it is not a prefer situation , but porting and activation sometimes run into issue with any provider.

According to the process, you should receive another follow up text even after the first 90 minutes.
Ensure you have the previous provider's SIM in your device.
"we will automatically resend you the SMS text to validate the transfer up to 5 times between the hours of 11 AM and 8 PM ET. "

@Rashida there is a number you can call to re-trigger the process. I will send you the number via Community inbox, envelope icon on top right.
