Porting a number from Rogers (went smoothly!)

[janakav]

Hello Community!

I have ported from my previous carrier (Rogers) to PM with no hassle at all. Porting was very smooth and had no hiccups along the way. Below were the steps taken (briefly),

- activated the PM SIM

- created self-serve account

- selected "transfer your wireless number from another provider" option

- provided wireless number tranfer details (previous carrier account #, alternate phone number and authorization name)

- selected the add-ons for my plan

- provided payment information (signed up for AutoPay - go with this, you can save in the long run!!)

- that's it!!

Then inserted the PM SIM into the phone, turned it on. After a moment, there was a text message from PM confirming the account PIN. After like 30 mins or so, there was another text message welcoming to PM and confirming transfer request (Rogers -> PM) has been completed successfully.

I didn't have to do anything else to get voice, text or data working. All the services were up and running by 30 mins or so!!

Never thought porting a number from another carrier would be this easy! Glad to be a part of this great Communitiy! 

Regards,

JV

Congrats, good to see someone post a successful port. Usually is only the ones that have issues that post which make PM look bad cause all anyone see is port failures of issues with accounts

It's refreshing to see positive experiences in what looks like endless reports of issues with activation or port. (I'm sure that the vast majority of activations and ports are absolutely seemless like yours - we just don't hear about them...)

Thank you for sharing and welcome to the PM family!
