We are trying to activate and move a number over from Chatr

We are trying to activate our sim and move our phone number over from chatr.  It keeps saying to give a valid Canadian number and we haven't been able to submit a ticket yet because it can't seem to validate our email address either.  Keeping our current number is very important to us because we have had the number for a long time.

@Remember- Punctuation tells the reader where a thought ends and a capital letter tells where a new thought starts. I suspect my bolded enlarged edit above is what you intended. It's how misunderstanding happens.

It otherwise said - non make payment you have 90 day you can port out from PM take new number - .

You could use some more punctuation but we'll leave it at that.

Does Chatr allow customers to port out phone numbers form accounts that have been suspended for non-payment?  The customer is trying to port from Chatr to Public.

 

Either way, the customer isn't trying to port out from Public Mobile to Chatr, but let's assume that was the case. In that situation, the customer absolutely does not have 90 days to port out a suspended Public account to Chatr. The number port would fail.

When you activate the new sim, are you also providing your old account number as well? The account number from chatr?

I tried this this morning with an activation and a transfer number. It's broken.

Open account first using brand new SIM. DO NOT transfer your old number immediately. Activate SIM, open an account, pick random number. When confirmed everything works as expected, THEN initiate porting number.

When I came to public Mobile I just set up the Sim card with a new number and after it was activated then I ported over my number.  Just don't get rid of your chatr Sim card because chatr will send you a text to make sure it's you porting the number over to another carrier.  Don't forget to use a refferal code to get a 10$ credit on your new activation also!

Take a different number temporarily...then port number once you have the process figured out.
