Porting a number

[Sailboat]

I would like to change over to Public mobile but I need to know if my number can be ported for sure before I move. I need the number to stay the same for work

@Sailboat 

yes, I am certain.  Since your number is from  Sault Ste. Marie, one of the bigger cities in North Ontario, this number can be ported around freely with most providers.  And for sure able to port into Public Mobile and Telus family

Okay, You're 100% absolutely sure? I cant lose the number. Very important for work.

Yes, the number can be ported in to Public Mobile.

705-257-xxxx is a Sault Ste. Marie number.  The number was originally from Bell.   Telus, Public Mobile parent company, has "call center" there and therefore the number can be ported into Public Mobile without issue

When you subscribe, remember to use the Public Mobile app to start the activation process

most number can be ported around but some can only stay with certain providers

give us the area code as well as the next 3 digits of the phone number and we can confirm if the number can be ported into Public Mobile

hi @Sailboat 

which network you are on? if you are using Telus or Koodo, your number can certainly move here
