 @Advantage : Activate a new account and take a new number. Keep your original SIM in the phone. Contact the moderators here to trigger a transfer/port. Eventually a text will arrive asking for your confirmation. Confirm. When that service stops then you'll know it's complete. Put in the Public Mobile SIM and away you go.

I phoned my local London Drugs and the guy told me that they could not port a Telus Mobility number.  There was also a Telus location in the Public Mobile Store Directory, but their number is not in service.  I would like to try Public but I cannot have my number down for more than a few hours.  How can I approach this?

First buy a Public Mobile SIM card from London Drugs or elsewhere and buy a top up voucher too, then click those three line e in top right corner and choose activate. That will take you to the activation portal, follow instructions there. You should have your Tellus account information and the Public Mobile SIM card and top voucher ready to fill out info.

If you wish to transfer an existing number from TELUS or Koodo (including formerly PC Mobile), you will need to first complete your activation with a new number, then reach out to our Moderator team here in order to transfer your existing number to Public Mobile.
