Really frustrating trying to find which number is available

[bintz]

Just received my sim card and am in process of signing up with PM , but when trying to pick a new number , it just seems bizzare to me how you have to load up new ones to find out which number you are looking for. Couldn't they just add a search bar for us to just search for the number we want instead of loading up new batch of number that is available? or if search bar doesn't work , maybe give us an ability to see which last 4 digits that is simliar to ones we're looking for that's available?

I'm just getting really tired trying to load new options and keep scrolling down in hopes of finding a number I would like that would match my previous number....

You may choose ANY location in Canada for your phone number; it does not have to be where you reside. The only caveat is that provincial calling plans are based on the area code of your number.

Just a bit of clarification:  When you first sign up and are in the process of activating a new phone number, they give you lots of numbers to choose from.  They'll even let you customize the last 4 digits.  However, if you want to change your new number afterward, they will only show you five choices at a time, and no customization of the last 4 digits.  It's best to spend a bit of extra time selecting a good number during sign-up if you think you might want to keep the new number.  Also, if I recall correctly, the phone numbers available from PM can only be changed by subscribers once per billing period.

If you don't mind telling me , how could I go on about doing that?

I live in Vancouver , but is it okay for me to choose Powell River for example as my local area? Vancouver's list of number doesn't seem to provide much

There is an option below to manually select/search for the last 4 digits. You first need to select one from the list with the area code and city code you'd like.

All I can suggest is flag a PM Mod and see what they maybe able to do
