Register New sim and Transfer number won't work

I have a number with Telus, just bought a pub mobile sim card,  Have been through the registration process now 10 times, and cannot get it to work. Get to the page where its finalizing the transaction and it ends with the following error:

@kjnether  - if you did get past the payment section, or it froze on the payment section...

Try one or more of the below:

*turn off your phone, leave off for a minutes, then reboot                                                            

*removing your SIM for a few minutes, then reinserting it

*go into airplane mode for a few minutes, then going back to regular mode

*reset network settings

*Is your phone locked? Contact your previous provider to unlock it for you. You will need your imei number, dial *#06# to get it.

Do you have any services at all?

If you just ported your phone number from another cell provider it could take a few hours to complete the port.

Using the other cell provider's SIM you should be still receiving calls on it, until the port completes.

Make sure you do not cancel your previous provider's services.

Incoming calls are usually the last to port over.

See helpful info. here: https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/bc/get-help/articles/port-fraud-protection

Leave the OLD provider SIM card in your phone to accept the PORT via SMS/text.

If you missed this 90 minute window, submit a ticket via this link to re-initiate the port:

Link to contact Customer Support Agents (CSA) for porting to Public Mobile

If you did not get past the payment section and did not get charged, see other member's suggestions.

Have you received a phone number transfer request via SMS? During activation, I'm pretty sure it's telus SIM card that needs to be in the phone and not PM's.

Also check that you have entered all the correct information (SIM card number, Telus account number, etc.). It doesn't take much to harm activation...

@kjnether   Look like it might be a browser issue.

before you try again, confirm if your credit card got charged.

If not, try on a different browser (edge/chrome/firefox) or try Incognito Mode.

@kjnether 

Check to see if your payment card has been charged. If so then you have activated the sim but your account may not be properly created or your sim provisioned to your account. If your card is charged then put the sim card in your phone and reboot to see if it works.

Did you port your number in? Keep your telus sim card in and use it til you get in contact with customer support in the morning. If your pm sim card does not work then don't reply to the PAT (porting authorization text) or you will lose that service as well. The CSA will help you with reinitiating the port request after they fix your account and pm sim.

@kjnether 

Can you check your cc to see if it was charged. If yes, put sim in phone and reboot.

If no try activating again, clear your browser cache/cookies and open a new browser in incognito. Chrome works well.
