Hello,
Need help with a problem transferring my phone number to Public Mobile.
I am currently with Fido and decided to switch over to PM. I go on the website and sign up for a plan and esim.
I choose to port my number and enter it in. I also provide my IMEI (esim) number as requested. (I also have a regular sim number, but did not provide this number). It states it could take up to 5 hrs to complete the port.
I download the PM app and set up an account and it tells me to restart my phone, etc…
Installed the esim successfully on my phone
I receive a text message from Fido that they received a request to transfer my number to another provider and to reply YES to approve, which I did, but no reply back despite multiple attempts.
I then get a message from PM indicating that there was a problem transferring my phone as I provided an incorrect ESN/MEID and someone on their end with be in contact with me shortly on my original phone or the alternate number I provided. Again, no follow up with me.
So now I have a sim card and esim on my phone both active, under the same phone number. If I choose fido (sim) as my primary then my LTE connection speeds are normal. If I choose PM (esim) as my primary, then it seems like my connection speeds are cut in half. Also I want to mention that I can’t seem to connect to 5G when on PM (as primary)…my phone only connects to LTE, but like I said speeds are very slow. Also I deleted my esim thinking that would help, but ended up having to buy another esim from PM.
I am not sure how to proceed as I am on hold for a substantial amount of time with he porting team on Fido’s end and can’t get through to anyone and when I try to submit a ticket to PM, it errors out every time.
I am not sure what to do now other than cancel my PM subscription, but I don’t even know how to do that. Any advice/guidance would be appreciated. Happy to answer any questions also.
Thank you,
Curtis
