Porting Error

[Maureen1972]

Hi there,

I activated a SIM card with public 3 days ago and my number still has not ported over.  I got a text from Public saying to go to the website and click "contact us" and fill out a form to activate my SIM.  I do not understand where to find this on the website.

How do I resolve a port error?  My bell account is still active, even though the number should have ported.

@Maureen1972  For the port to complete Public Mobile needs additional information. Who is your previous provider? When contacting the moderator include all the info that you have from your previous provider like: Account Number, Account Name and Phone Number, PIN Number if you have it to expedite the process. Click here.

@Maureen1972You have to contact the Moderator directly to figure out the problem. This forum's users are mostly regular users like you. We don't have access to your account particulars.. Just note it could take a few days for moderators to respond.. However in my experience they are usually pretty quick.

Number porting is a 2 stage process:
Stage 1. PM set up your old number on your PM account. Login to your account. Select the [Plan and Add-Ons] tab. Is your old number showing on the [Plan and Add-Ons] display?
If yes, PM has done its work to setup your old number for you to call out, send text and data.
If no, you should send a private message to moderator to investigate. Moderator wait time is 2 - 3 days.

Stage 2. Now, you are waiting for your old provider to release you number to PM. Not until your old provider release your number, all the incoming calls and texts will continue to go to your old provider.

If you port from a mobile number, it may take up to 2 days to complete. You can continue to use your old SIM card until it stops working. Then, start using PM SIM card.
