@lorenzo1961   Yes IMEI often causes problems, much better to just use the account number.  They don't always follow through with the contact, there is a number to call for specific porting issues.  she can call to see if they can help otherwise she needs to contact customer service using the chatbot icon bottom right to open a ticket.   I'll PM you the phone number.

I think the issue is related to the fact she used the IMEI number of the phone which was purchased in Europe instead of the account number for the port. The account being ported is from Bell-MTS which is the Manitoba version of Bell. 

She got this message from public a couple of hours ago but no contact yet.

Hey, it's Public Mobile. We're having trouble transferring your number. Looks like you entered an incorrect ESN/MEID. Someone from our team will contact you shortly using your original phone number or the alternate number provided.

@lorenzo1961  Please make sure your friends number can be ported to PM 

Check to see if # can be ported
