Re-Try port from Public Mobile to Rogers

[SusanaAlmeida]

I need Public Mobile to retry the port to my Rogers phone.

I approved the original port request from Public Mobile to Rogers but it still hasn't been completed. My eSIM has since been disabled and I was assigned a temporary number from Rogers.

I tried calling Public Mobile Validation number and it says the port is still in progress. I don't know how the port will be retried if my original number has been disabled.

How can I have Public Mobile retry the port manually and send the request to my Rogers temporary number.

Thank you Phil,

I did try the chat but wasn't able to get anywhere. I will try the link you sent. I appreciate your response.

@SusanaAlmeida   The onus with porting is always on the receiving carrier.  If something went wrong they may need to resubmit the port request.  To get an answer from Public Mobile open a ticket at the chat icon bottom right of this page.  If that doesn't work then send them a private message using this link

I did login to the PM account and account still shows active. Am I not able to have Public Mobile just retry the port to the temporary number? Is this option not available for PM members?

[SusanaAlmeida]

It is abit of a goose chase. We called Rogers and they directed us to Public Mobile. I would love to have a Public Mobile Rep to confirm what is happening on their end with regards to the port transfer.

If the Port transfer is still in progress, I'd like to know if its waiting on a confirmation (if they didn't receive the original acknowledgment), or if it has been handed over to Rogers.

if port not completed, what did Rogers say? this is something Rogers need to work on.  They can need to contact PM internally as you already replied yes

and can you login PM My Account? if you cannot, then your account is closed the the number already gone to Rogers

[SusanaAlmeida]

Sorry yes, it was accepted yesterday. We waited 24 hours before contacting Rogers again and the port still hasn't been completed.

hi @SusanaAlmeida 

if you replied Yes to PM, you can remove your PM sim or disable PM esim

reboot the phone and try the Rogers sim.  If still does not work, please call Rogers.  You are chasing the wrong carrier if you keep asking your question here

[Phil_Adelphus]

@SusanaAlmeida  We said Yes to the port as soon as we got the text message.

OK, but the question was how long ago was that?  It can take several hours for a number to port and it is Rogers that needs to sort this out if it's been more than 5 hours or so.

[SusanaAlmeida]

We said Yes to the port as soon as we got the text message. Once that was accepted it disabled the eSIM on the mobile phone but did not move the phone number.  So any new text messages to my old phone number will not be received. 

That is why we're asking to retry the port to the temporarily assigned Rogers number since that is active.

[Phil_Adelphus]

@SusanaAlmeida   The normal process is for Rogers to initiate the port.  It sounds like Public Mobile already released the number.  How long ago did you say Yes to the Public Mobile text?

[SusanaAlmeida]

Rogers Rep did contact us and asked us to have Public Mobile retry the port. When trying to contact Public Mobile, we we're directed to post in the Community. 

I believe the port retry will need to happen to the temporary Rogers number since the eSIM was disabled when I accepted the port the first time.

if you port out of PM , the number won't help

you need to contact Rogers for update, not PM
