The most critical part of porting your number is to reply to the text from Fido with YES you are porting over to PM with the Fido SIM in your phone. You have 90 minutes to reply or porting will not be completed.

If you Fido SIM still works then porting was not completed.

You will need a CS_Agent to complete the porting if you missed the text:

Hey @richardxvu60444 

Before you contact anyone else, have you tried rebooting your phone? If you install your Fido SIM card and reboot, do you still have service? If not, that means the port has gone through (although may be stuck) BUT...  if you go into network settings with your Public Mobile SIM card in the phone and then reset them and reboot... does that give you service? And finally, sometimes SIM cards need a kick in the butt, it's what's called reprovisioning a SIM card. The way to do this is to take it out, place it into another phone that's shut off and then start the other phone with the SIM card inside. If you have service on that other phone, the "kick in the butt" worked. Now you can shut down your phone, put the PM SIM card in that and restart the phone. You should be up.

If these don't work, then call any numbers that folks have sent you for extra assistance.
