@Citoyen - do any services work? Some should immediately. Incoming should be the last of the service to complete.

Usually as soon as you send porting request you will receive SMS from Bell to confirm porting out. You have to keep Bell SIM in your phone and reply Yes within 90 minutes.

Both account have to be active and in good standing. Porting is automated and it is completed within few hours.

@Citoyen  - did you complete the public mobile sim card activation?

If so, restart your phone and see if you have any services with the public sim card inside.

 

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

  • BELL Cell ports can take 2-3 hours. Use the previous provider's SIM card to receive the porting transfer text for approval to port over to Public Mobile and to receive calls from until port is complete.
  • BELL Landline 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 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 for issues with transfer/porting of phone numbers over to Public Mobile.

Or, you can try calling the Telus porting phone number, which we are not supposed to post here. So, check your private messages I will send it to you there.

@Citoyen did you get the text from Bell asking for your approval to port?  did you reply YES?

 

If you did that, usually within 2 hours, you will just need to reboot your phone and test if you can receive incoming calls on your PM sim card

 

But if you missed the text, let us know and we can send you a number to call PM porting team to re-trigger the process
