This seems to be a common issue, and is 100% dishonest business practice in my opinion. I recently ported my number to Fido, and I assumed my account had been closed. I am no longer able to log in to my account at public mobile. I just received a new charge from public mobile on my credit card today. I thought this company was a month-by- month plan that you have to pre purchase? And now I cannot contact an agent or log in to my account to see what is going on. Also from browsing forums this seems to be a common problem.

How long ago did you successfully port to Fido @Ohatt03
And did you have any issues activating the public mobile SIM card when you became a public customer? you are right, if you ported out successfully and this wasn't a timing issue, then you should not be charged unless something stuck incorrectly in PM's end. And wonder what that 'stuck' is?

Sometimes when the porting out occurs very close to the renewal date, public mobile tries to pull the charge from the credit card. It's possible the charge may drop off as a pending charge and not become authorized.
If it doesn't, and if Public Mobile doesn't refund the charge, just do a chargeback with your credit card provider. I'm pretty sure Public Mobile will do a refund otherwise.
Just out of curiosity, did the port over to Fido go seamlessly and do all your services with Fido work?
