Hey Christina,

I had troubles transferring my old number too.  I used the Public Mobile app and I had to go over to Support > Chat with an Agent  and then make a ticket.  They got back to me within 2 days and they resolved the issue shortly after that.  Not sure if this helps but I hope it does.  Sorry if it's not a quick fix and takes a couple days.

Hey @christina1982 

Just to add to @hairbag1 comment about needing to download the app on your phone to finish the sign up, I strongly advise NOT to transfer your old number you want just yet. Sign up, get a temporary number. When your sign up is complete, make sure you can make and take calls, texts and data all work. If they all work, THEN port over your number. Best not to temp fate and have no phone line at all for hours or days at a time.

you must use the Public Mobile app to successfully activate your new account.
