Porting in Shaw Landline - address field won't allow numbers for streets

[csamson]

We are attempting to port in our landline to PM (we have an existing PM number). When filling out the address form it doesn't allow me to type in our street address, which is a numbered street (ie. 34th St E). We can't spell it out, as it would not be an "exact match" as they say it must be, and Shaw doesn't allow you to alter your address on the site. 

Is this a glitch in the form or are we not able to port any longer?

@csamson   Great update and speedy help from @CS_Agent 

and for your info, porting from landline would be longer anywhere from 3 to 5 business days.

CS has started the port, and things are moving. Thanks for the help everyone - hopefully they'll fix their form soon!

Ah ok the other member I guess tested it and discovered that the field doesn't take numbers. Yet another ridiculous system bug.

[csamson]

The numbers don't appear at all, doesn't matter if I use num pad or the ones above the qwerty keys. I press one, nothing happens. I press a letter it shows up. I can try all permutations and nothing. It's very weird. Hopefully CS can start the port on their end.

@csamson  Yes, I can confirm that Street Name field does not take any number at all.

So, you will have to type it Thirty Forth Street instead

If you like, you can proceed with that, I can send you a number to call the porting team after, maybe after 30 mins, and ask them if the information provide is good or if they can manually change it back to 34th instead

I still wonder if it's an auto-complete. The account profile address is and I wonder if that transfer address is the same idea. Try typing in just your street address. It's slow. It might find some suggestions. Then a space and type in 34. Again, it's slow. It might find more suggestions. Maybe it'll find your 34th St E variation.

Did you verify with Shaw? And is there a different way to advise Shaw beforehand of the port out?

@csamson   

so, your account already have a working PM number and you are trying to port your number from Profile's Transfer number?

I would suggest you to open ticket with support and ask them for  put in the porting request for you then.  Please message them:

Is this an auto-complete line? Try different variations of that address to see if it will complete on it. When you call Shaw to permit the transfer then explain that to them.
