Verification

[SZK0808]

We have been a Public Mobile customer for several years. Recently we changed our phone numbers on the website as we have moved provinces. Today I tried to log into our 2 accounts and discovered that the verification codes are being sent to our old numbers rather than the new numbers. So as I can't log into my account, I had to set up a new email address to create a new account of which I am currently writing this post. It has been very frustrating and I would have thought of all places that this issue would occur, that it wouldn't be with the provider that I actually changed my number with. Can anyone help, or should I be trying to contact Public? Thank you

Do you Really think any company will admit they are not perfect?

Known glitch in the system when you change phone numbers. PM is aware and working on a fix.

WHY so many glitches at PM? Don't they have a QA department?
How difficult it will be to 'employ' few customers to do real life testing of a new or existing features? Reward them with free data or minutes or few points.

Thanks for that advice. I am going to try it, but I have to log out of this account before I can log into the other. Cheers. SZK0808

Can you get 2FA code via email instead?  There should be a link " Didn't recieve code" and that should then offer the email 2FA code.  Then you can access your account.  Go to Eversafe settings and then change phone number.  If that does not work, you will need to contact customer service agent.
