Porting a Number after the fact

[Jrat59]

Hey guys! 

So been testing the PM network out... been working two phones keeping my rogers account still active. 

Looking to figure out how to port my number over now. Well not right now this minute, but within the next few days. If there is a step by step or if someone can help out that would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks in advance PM fam!!!

My personal "Do nots” for port-in

- do not request the port-in during activation; take a temporary number, log out, confirm all services are active, log back into your account and select Transfer Number under Change Phone Number

- do not use any identifier except your Rogers account number; it is the best item for any port-in request

- do not make any errors in the Authourized User; this must be exactly as it appears on your Roger's bill

- do not use the your Roger's number as the Alternate Number; use someone else's

- do not forget to click "I am authourized ...." BEFORE you entering your Roger's number (courtesy imm1304)

- do not cancel your account; that will happen automatically

Good luck. If the port-in has not finished within 3 hours create a New Message under the topic Getting Started.

This is a great list and will do this with the second line I am doing today.  Not sure if there is such a thing as a sticky to keep posts out and easy to find but this should be one such post!

Thanks for the tips

do not make any mistake on any step while you are activiating the sim card. any one mistake can cause you longer time to port in. remember always to read carefully step by step what ask you to do , if you follow step by step, it won't take you long to activate sim card and port your number.

Go to my account and on the right hand side about halfway down it says change number.
