Waiting 24+ hours for a port to process from Telus Act

Hello, 

 

I am new to Public Mobile. I went through the steps yesterday to port my number from Telus to Public Mobile and am waiting for the port to go through. Can someone advise whom I can speak with to check in on the status?

 

Thank You,

 

Rachael

The issue is a simple fix apparently for the provisioning team, they need to address the sim card with PM and it's stuck to Telus.

 @Meow : lol Marketing. Apple likes the customer to stay in their nice walled garden. If you need to be outside of that then they add unnecessary complexities so you'll stay afraid to look outside.

Are you using an iPhone?

If yes, you need to download a provider file specific for PM service by connecting your iPhone to a PC running iTune.   Restart your iPhone after update.  Report your result.


I did not know iPhone is so complicated... Why people buy such hardware?

@Rachclarke444  log into selfserve and what's the status?  

 

The Telus line going dead likey means port was competed, but there is an issue on the pm side of things, sim card not provisioned properly.   CSagents are the only ones who can invistigate.

Yes, I did wait and replied yes, my phone then immediately stopped and then we put the PM sim into the phone and 24 + hrs later, still nothing. So I thought best to escalate. I will reach out. Thanks.


While you wait for Customer Support Agent to help...try the PM sim in a different phone. See if that gets things moving.

Try rebooting the phone by powering off the phone and wait a few minutes and power back on again. 

If it doesn’t work, you can contact a PM CSAgent by clicking on the SIMon chat button and type in “Create a Ticket” for the agent to review your porting process.

Did you leave your Telus SIM in your phone and wait for a SMS text that you are porting over to PM? There is a 90 minute window to confirm.

If you missed this step, ask the CSAgent to restart the porting process.

Porting from Telus shouldn't take very long. Have you attempted a restart of your phone ? Give that a quick try and let us know if it helps.
