Recently transferred phone # on Jan 16 still not receiving incoming calls

[Jaskg]

I transferred my phone number on Jan 16. Since then I’ve been unable to receive incoming calls. 

Update Jan 25,2022: It was a porting issue. Once I called the # they resent the request to authorize changing numbers and providers. The phone was working within the hour. Thank you to everyone for their suggestions and support!

[Jaskg]

Msged the # to you. Hope this works for you as well!

[Jaskg]

Thank you for offering a solution! It was a porting issue and it was resolved when the # change request was resent. All resolved!

Can you please message me the number as well?   Thank you.

@Jaskg  - have you tried any of the below?

*turn off your phone, then reboot

*removing your SIM, then reinserting it

*go into airplane mode, then going back to regular mode

*reset network settings on your device

@Jaskg 

I just sent you a private message with a phone number you can call just to confirm that your porting request was completed successfully. If calling that number does not resolve your issue, the only other way to get support from PM would be to send a private message to CS_Agent with your account details.

@Jaskg 

1. What info did you use to port?
2. Are you porting in a voip or landline? They can take 7+ days.
3. Are you transferring from pc mobile or koodo prepaid? (Unlikely)
4. Is your old account and/or services still active?

@Jaskg   did you reply within 90 mins?

First try to reboot your phone and see how it goes

if still not working, call the number I just private message you

Yes, I did receive a text from my previous provider with the # change request and I replied YES

[softech]

@Jaskg   did you get a text from your previous provider and did you reply YES to it?

It looks to me it is a stuck port.  I will message you a phone number to call and get the porting status.  They can help to re-trigger the porting text.  Check the Community inbox , envelope icon on top right

Have you texted yes to the number when you initiated the transfer?
