If the first activation failed then proceed with activating again and choosing a temporary phone number. ( If you choose an Alberta phone # you will only pay 5% gst on the activation plan.) Make sure you enter your friends referral code for the $10 bonus credit on page 4 of the activation portal. Write down or screenshot the email, password, 4 digit account pin# and print or screenshot the transaction summary at the end of a successful activation.
Wait a few minutes and then log into the newly created self serve account. Make a note of the referral code or copy it to paste it during the activation of the second account.
Once you have successfully activated both Sim cards and can log into their self serve accounts you can port in your telus phone numbers. Port in the non-account holders phone # first by using the change phone # feature in the self serve account's profile page. After checking the authorized to port box enter the following info:
- Full name on the account.
- Phone # to be ported in.
- Telus account #.
- Alternate phone #. (Optional but use a family member or work #.)
Then make sure the telus Sim card is in the phone to reply YES to the PAT (porting authorization text) within 90 minutes of receiving it. The port should complete within minutes. Proceed to porting in the account holder's phone # in their account by repeating the process. Once this port completes the telus account will automatically cancel and be closed and you will recieve a "Sorry to see you go..." email from telus.
