moving existing cell number

[jamesd]

will i be able to move my existing cell number to public mobile?

I just did this from Bell. Very easy. Either look at your old account online or phone your old provider. You'll need either your Account #, Phone Serial #, or one other number I forget. You just enter that along with your phone # you want to switch, and it does it for you. If you're with Rogers, Bell, etc. then your old plan will also automativally get cancelled (but I'd call them or look online to confirm)

Specifically, it's the old carrier's account number that's usually needed.

@jamesd  Yes, it's called porting your number. Activate you PM card and pick a temporary number. Once everything is setup including your selfserve account. Just sign in to your account and choose the change number option and then you will be able to setup the transfer of you number by providing the requested information.

Yes you can! Where is your service now? What phone are you using?

@jamesd you should be able to!  Don't cancel it, just set up public mobile and port your number. Don't forget a refferal code to get a 10$ credit on your new activation
