That few hours applies to the time for porting to complete.  However, the Public Mobile phone/SIM card shouldnt' be out of service.  That's another issue altogether. 

@Eunmi75 

When you say that your phone is not in service, can you clarify if that means that you have no service when using yoru Public Mobile SIM card, that you've cancelled the service at your old provider, or that an error message about your phone number being out of service when you call it, or if you mean something else?

Try one or more of the below:

*turn off your phone, leave off for a minutes, then reboot                                                            

*removing your SIM for a few minutes, then reinserting it

*go into airplane mode for a few minutes, then going back to regular mode

*reset network settings

*Is your phone locked? Contact your previous provider to unlock it for you. You will need your imei number, dial *#06# to get it.

*Check if your phone is blacklisted here: https://www.devicecheck.ca/check-status-device-canada/

do you receive message from your old carrier asking to confirm if you would like to port your number. Your reply should be: YES. do you !!

The confirmation message can take a few minutes to come in. You have 90 minutes from the time of request.

if you are missing put it back your old sim card and rebooking your device is will coming that SMS, to you can reply YES,

Keep your old carrier SIM card in your phone.  You may get a confirmation text from your old carrier confirming the port request.
