Transferring Number from Stolen Public Mobile Phone to New Phone

mhendo

Hello,

My phone was stolen today - the Public Mobile FAQ says there is no way to port a number from an existing Public Mobile phone to a new Public Mobile phone. Is there a workaround for this? I would like to retain my phone number from the stolen phone if possible.

Thanks!

Login to your account and go to the Account tab>Report Lost/Stolen Device to pause service on stolen phone.

Once you have your new phone and SIM/eSIM then go to Account tab>Change Your SIM Card to transfer your account to the new SIM/eSIM with the same number.

I think you may have misunderstood the FAQ. First, can you log into your account? If so, go in fast, click on the LOST or STOLEN button so it places your account on hold. Then you can purchase a new SIM card and put it into your new phone and keep your same number and same plan.

If you can't log into your account, please contact a CS Agent via this link.
