Typo ported number, now what?

I just signed up to Public and ported my old Bell Mobility # to the new Public SIM, unfortunately i typed in the wrong number to port to.  I received a phone call by a moderator who left a message on my husband's phone saying the number i ported from has a security lock on it (i guess a 4 digit key).  That info probably belongs to whoever's account that belongs to that i tried porting from.  I created a ticket a few days ago to get help and no response.  I'm not sure what my options are.  I even thought of cancelling this account and recreating a new one from scratch, but i think i would be a month in the hole for payment and i dont know if i can do that with a SIM i already have a number on.  Ive had random txt messages arrive while others did not arrive to my phone, making me think that there is somehow 2 active phones using this same number at the moment. Mine and whoever owned this number before i ported it.  I just want to port my correct number from my old SIM with Bell.  Any advise?

It looks like the moderator team was messaging me here via direct message which i just noticed.  Looks like i'm in communication with them now, thanks for the heads up.

@alokdicarla  So you currently activated with a temporary number that you selected at sign up?
