Verification code

[Gillian1]

Set up my daughter with a public mobile account and when I go in the app I do not receive the verification code, so I can not access her account. So I'm not sure if I missed a step. She was originally with PC mobile. I do not have the sim for PC mobile.

You need the old PC SIM in your phone to get the confirmation text from PC. Since you tossed it out, you may have to get a new SIM from PC and have them transfer the old SIM to the new PC SIM.

Verbal confirmation is probably from old carrier is Telus (PM parent company) or Koodo (Telus 2nd tier).

The help article no longer mentions it but I believe PC mobile number transfers need support to complete.

@Gillian1 - did you receive the SMS porting text on the PC sim before you got rid of the sim card? Or you lost the card? You need to approve the port with PC over to Public. Maybe you will need a new SIM card from PC or get a verbal port approval.

What verification code? Do you get an option for email, choose that.

@Gillian1 , did you transfer the phone number from PC mobile?  In any event, if you select did not receive code, you will be offered an option to receive the code via email.
