Transferring number

Hi I’m trying to transfer a 604 number and the app keeps saying it’s not a ‘Valid Canadian phone number’ when it obviously is a valid number. Doesn’t seem to be any way around this

@manostrand 

the error " Invaid Phone Number - Please enter a valid Canadian phone number"  is usually because 

  1.  The number cannot be ported into Public Mobile/Telus network due to some technical limitations 
  2. you are trying to port in from Koodo prepaid
  3. or  you have attempted activation once and saw some error and you decided to re-attempt to activate a second time.  But the early activation attempt was holding up the porting request

To confirm if the number can be ported into Public Mobile/Telus network: please provide us the area code and the next 3 digits of the phone number and we can check

If you are porting in from Koodo prepaid, you have to activate with a new number first.  Once activation completed and you can make calls and recieve calls, then you will need to open ticket with PM support for a manual porting request.

if you are NOT porting in from Koodo prepaid but was re-attempting the activation a second time, you will have to open tickte with PM support and have them to clear up the earlier activation attempt.   Please open ticket using Public Mobile Expert Messaging , Select Start a Chat to begin (You will need to use your current Community account to login to submit the ticket):
