Teleporting land line number to cell

David29
Great Neighbour / Super Voisin

I cannot activate my account. I want to teleport my Telus landline number to my cell. The activation process will not accept my phone number as a “valid Canadian number” (it is, it’s my landline and I want to cancel it as soon as it’s transferred to my Public Mobility account but at this point the registration process will not let me finish setting up the account).

what do I do?

Just be a little patient, porting over a cell number is really quick, however porting over a landline to your cell takes longer instead of instantaneous to an hour or 2, it is days.

Check the eligibility of your landline in the link supplied by @dust2dust . If it's eligible then activate with a temporary number and once it's activated and you can confirm all of your services work you can port your landline in thru your self serve account. It can take up to 2 business days to port in and very occasionally up to 7 days. Don't cancel your account porting out does that for you.

You're typing the numbers in the correct style?

One would think it should but maybe cell is different from landlines.
