Porting a number

[Joss88]

My Sasktel landline is confirmed portable by SaskTel but your Transfer Phone Number tool says the number is not available in port. Please check whether this number can be manually ported or wether this exchange is unsupported on Public mobile.

once I port it to a Sask tel mobile carrier, can I port it again?

Yes, number cannot be transferred into Public Mobile, in fact it cannot be ported any provider other than those "sub-brands" of Sasktel like Lüm Mobileor , noSTRINGS Prepaid

306-478-xxxx is a Mankota number.  Only SaskTel has a Rate Center there.  Basically SaskTel is the only provider that has operation in Mankotal.    So, your number can only be moved between SaskTel and its sub-brands

You will have no choice but to either pick a new number or stay with SaskTel's family

Most numbers can be ported, but some numbers have to stay with 1 or 2 particular carriers due to "location restriction".    When Sasktel confirms it can be ported, it still does not guarantee you can port the number into all mobile carriers, there could still be restrictions.  It is possible that it can be port into some providers but cannot be ported into others

Give us the area code and the next 3 digits and I can confirm if your number can be ported into Public Mobile.

if you confirmed with Public Mobile transfer number tool that you cannot port...then the number can't be ported.
