Porting out

[maduser]

Public Mobile is blocking my port request. Claiming that my account number is wrong.

The only account number I have is the one on my selfserve portal.

This is getting very frustrating.

Please port my number out.

From @Luddite 's message, the account number can't be copied from self-serve.  What you can do it copy and paste it from the activation e-mail message that Public Mobile sent you.   It is in the "To" field right next tro your e-mail address.

@maduser Any chance you have more than one account and have mixed up the names/accounts? Both must be exact.

FYI: Account number is in upper right of the Overview page and has the form 10000001234567. It cannot be copied using the "copy function". 

Just remembered to ask whether the account is active? A suspended account cannot be ported.

Yah message one of MOD with your number and if possible with a screen capture of your account number and explain the issue to them. Also, what is the status of your PM account? It must be active in order to port out

I have copied the exact acct# as is displayed on the "My Account" screen.

Backend porting team states that Public Mobile is replying that the account is wrong.

If that is not the correct account number, where do I find the correct one?

[Civic_E]

Every account has either 7 or 6 zeros after 1. There shouldn't be any issues porting out. You most likely typed your account number wrong

If your number is anything like mine, there's a ton of '0's in it.  Maybe you've missed or added one?
