Not a question, but potentially helpful for PC Mobile pre-paid users considering switching to PM - I searched before I activated but all I saw were posts about problems.
I just activate a SIM I got at Walmart and ported my old number from PC Mobile (pre-paid, i.e. Bell network) with no problem and no need to DM anyone:
1) called PC Mobile #7266 to cancel my credit card top-up and to get my account number (9 digits) and verify my name on file was correct. My plan was still active with 5$ balance and 5 days until the end of the "month".
2) Use the PM web-page activate my SIM. Entered my old mobile number in "Check my number", then entered the account number and my full name.
3) Finished everything else (plan, credit card, etc...) and swapped the SIM in my phone.
4) Within a minute my phone was displaying "Public Mobile" and I got the welcome texts. I was able to send a text and make a call.
5) 30 minutes later I got another text saying the transfer had been completed, and I was able to call and text my phone using the old number.
I live out in the sticks (near Perth, ON) and the reception is the same as before with PC Mobile.
Phone is an unlocked Moto G6 from the Caymen Islands that I got cheap of Amazon.ca
Note that this was pre-paid PC Mobile, which uses Bell Mo's network. The number was originally ported from Bell Mo's paygo to PC Mobile about 10 years ago.
Any questions, drop me a DM
Cheers
Dominic
