Hey there,
So, I just tried seting up my account and followed all the steps correctly to port my number over fom Virgin Mobile. The problem I encountered - I hit an auto fill to quickly enter my number and an alternative one, but somehow through the auto fill process it totally entered my number (I'm trying to port) incorrectly. It swapped numbers from both my phone and my alternative phone number (kept area code and first three digits the same and swapped out the last four digits with the alternative number). I didn't catch it until after the payment screen was done. I didn't hit the FINISH button, but I tried to go back to fix the number and I couldn't get anywhere. The page asked me to start again, but it was too late as the SIM was already activated with a number that is not mine and now I'm not sure how to correct the issue. Is there anyway to fix this problem, other than ordering a new SIM card and tying again??? I really want to keep my old number I'm trying to port!
It was supposed to be an easy setup!! Any help would greatly be appreciated.
@WollR77 No need to buy a new sim. Since the number is not yours the port will fail. Access toy selfserve account and select the change number option. Select a temp number from the Public pool. If the number change is successful then select change number again and setup the port of you old number.
If that doesn't work message the moderators and explain what happened include all the correct porting info and they will setup the port for you.
