porting a phone number

[ldvorak]

I am nearly going crazy trurying to port a phone number for my Mom. I've gone through the process several times and have been unsuccessful. I called Shaw to see if they have had a prot request and they have not. I have tried to submit a ticket about a dozen times and have been in tech hell for hours. I need to talk to a technician!!!

You are trying to port the Shaw number in thru the self serve account? Clear your browser and use secret/incognito mode. Then check the authorized to port box enter the following info:

1. Full name on the Shaw account.
2. Phone number to be ported.
3. Shaw account #.
4. Alternate phone #. (optional...use yours if you like)

Keep the Shaw SIM card in the phone to reply YES to the PAT within 90 minutes of receiving it.

In your other post, someone sent you a phone number to call. Look at top of this page and find the little envelope icon. If it's highlighted, then you have a message from @hTideGnow.
