@TheN 

it is a manual process to bring in a number from Koodo Prepaid

the line with the new number has to be activated first.   With the line activated with the temp number, PM can then port in your Koodo number to replace that temp line

you need to get that temp number so the account setup first.  if you don't do that, they cannot port in the line as the account is not fully setup.

@TheN  you can't ask PM to help yet if you have not fully activated the line

please use PM app to choose a new number, get to the last step to complete the activation first.

hi @TheN 

yes, more steps for porting from Koodo Prepaid.  Setup a new number first.  When the line is setup, submit a ticket and ask PM CS agent to port in the line for you.

You will need to contact customer service agent to manually complete port from Koodo prepaid to Public mobile.  They share the same backend, so the port needs to manually done. 

Send a ticket via the chatbot to customer service agent (CSA) via link:

to port from Koodo Prepaid, you need to get a new phone number first, a temporary number.  After the account is setup, you will open a ticket with PM and ask them to move the line over

when you are ready to open ticket , when the PM line is setup,  Simply open ticket with PM using the Orange Chatbot icon on the lower right. (For 2FA  code when login, use email to receive code instead of SMS if you cannot receive the text on the phone.)    When open Chatbot ticket, Type the question Submit ticket and select Contact Us to get to ticket open screen       

But if you have trouble using Chatbot to open ticket, then message PM using this link:
