HOW did you request number transfer?

Did you follow process to the letter? - both account active, keep OLD SIM in a phone, initiate porting, reply Yes within 90 min of receiving SMS from other provider?

@Morris1 

Did you reply YES to the PAT (porting authorization text) within 90 minutes of receiving it? Or recieve it at all? When you call the telus/koodo porting department make sure you have your virgin account # to give them to reinitiate your port request and put your virgin Sim card back in your phone so you can reply YES to the PAT.

@Morris1 There is a number to contact the dept that ports numbers and they may be able to assist.  I will DM you the number, so check you community inbox.
