After setting up my account and completing all required fields, I received a text from public mobile asking that a go to Publicmobile.ca, click Contact us and complete the SIM & Activation online form.  When I clicked on the Publicmobile.ca link, there is no contact us option to click on

Thanks to everyone who took the time to help. The problem seemed to resolve itself by noon hour, and I seem to be up and running now.

Do I just input mod team in the send to field?


Mod Team will not work as there is no such username.  Typing that into the send to field also will not help the member find the correct Moderator_Team name.

Your number porting request failed.  Make sure that you have information about your old carriers account such as your account number, and provide that along with that phone number and name of the owner of that account to Public Mobile's Moderator_Team.  Instructions on how to do that were given earlier. As for the instructions about trying to find some form, ignore that because sending moderators a private message is the only way to get this fixed.

Activation would have had to have been completed for the customer to be able to receive the text message from Public Mobile.
