@Inthup 

If it is a landline, it could take up to complete the porting but yes it can be ported.

I just did two this morning, one from Bell and one from Koodo.

The bell one took +/- 40 minutes, the Koodo one took less than 5 minutes.

I used esim on iPhones, and as soon as I saw the original provider signal turn off (phone showed SOS) I restarted the phone and the Public Mobile service has activated

Thanks I will try now

Just to add to this conversation, if you're already with Public Mobile, log into your account, go to your profile, on the right side click on transfer number. Enter the number you want to transfer to make sure it can actually be transfer. A lot of people miss this step and can cause problems.

You left the old sim in and confirmed the transfer text?

@Inthup  Should all be the same can take 20 mins to 2 hours generally thou

@Inthup 

porting process is pretty much automated, so shouldn't have much difference between weekday/weekend

you replied YES to your old provider yet? Usually within 0.5 to 4 hours after the YES reply, the porting should be completed.  During this 0.5 to 4 hours, please keep reboot your phone ever 15 mins and test incoming calls.  If your PM sim rings, the porting completed
