@HALIMACS true enough.
Similar to how customers need to go through hoops just to find out how to reliably contact a Public Mobile Support Agent, it's ridiculous.

LOL @esjliv , i always get a kick out of how some members here say we are "not allowed" to post a number on this forum, as opposed to it being discouraged due to inappropriate usage by some new users thinking it's a toll-free number for all issues (which of course, it is not)
Almost as if we are employees who are somehow beholden to the corporate entity TELUS (Koodo/Public Mobile), which of course we are not.
A number that is also easily available to anyone with an internet connection who simply searches, "what is the porting assistance number for Koodo". Try that @Rocknodora and you'll get the number that both Koodo and Public Mobile shares for porting assistance issues.
But whatever you do, don't POST it here on Public Mobile's public forum because it confuses too many people into believing it's a call-all number for all issues.
Too bad Public Mobile can't simply post the number themselves and simply say if folks are calling for any other reason than a failed port, that the persons on the other end cannot assist. Heck, they can even add that to the announcement to discourage callers from remaining on the line for non-porting related issues.
Too bad Public Mobile can't trust it's new customers to respect its usage enough to offer it up freely without making them go through hoops to get it.
Just my honest opinion is all.

@Rocknodora - we are all customers like you here on this PUBLIC forum. @HALIMACS has provided a way to contact Public Mobile customer support privately.
If this is a request you need to retrigger the porting request to your previous provider's SIM card try calling the porting phone number. I'll message you as we are not allowed to post the number here. They are closed in about 1/2 hour I believe.

Log into your self-serve account, go to your Profile, go down to your Phone Number, click on Transfer Number, have your old provider account number in hand, follow the process and steps.
