@tammybrooks  - make sure you did not cancel your previous provider's service. When the port is completed to public mobile, your old provider's service should close automatically.

 

If you have activated a new account and transferred over from another provider, note that incoming calls are usually the last to port over.

  • Cell ports can take 2-3 hours. Use the previous provider's SIM card to receive the porting transfer text for approval to port to port over to Public Mobile and to receive calls from until port is complete.
  • Landline/voip ports can take 3+ days. Expect a mix of services on the landline and Public Mobile SIM card until port is complete.

When the incoming calls stop on the previous provider’s SIM card and/or landline/voip account, that is a good indication the port is complete.

 

If still issues, submit a ticket with Public Mobile representatives (CSA) for help; click this link: to request the transfer of your number over to Public Mobile.

@tammybrooks   Look like a stuck port.  An important step in porting is to get a message from your old provider on your old sim to approve the porting.  You need to reply them within 90 mins and likely you missed

 

No worry, this process can be re-triggered.   Your  old account should still be active at this point .  You will need to find your old sim back and put it in a phone.  Call the porting support team to talk to live support and they can re-trigger the process

I will message you the phone number.  Please check your Community inbox, envelope icon on the top right
