Careful that might be considered spamming. You may want to contact customer support.

To pre-verify your account include your full name, address, email, phone # and 4 digit acct pin #.

That's nice @darlicious , but I didn't ask or question your advise.

 

When I said:

"Therefore, I did not think PM CSA was needed in this scenario."

I was only referring to the scenario I was posting about, not what others posted about it.

I was going by the advice in the help article by pm.

@darlicious it is possible OP disposed of the PM SIM, or at least, removed the PM SIM card.

Perhaps, they thought the SMS text was going to come to the Eastlink SIM card. 🤔

Therefore, I did not think PM CSA was needed in this scenario.

Yes the OP can ask Eastlink to make the port request again but it's pm that sends the PAT (porting authorization text). Hopefully the srcond request will initiate the PAT as it didnt the first time around so really the OP needs to contact pm to find out why?

@Lindsay2  - do you have the Public Mobile SIM card in your phone..waiting for the port approval Text? It must be the Public Mobile SIM card in your phone to accept the approval of the port.

 

If the Public Mobile account is not ACTIVE, then you will need to reactivate it so Eastlink can bring the number over to them.

If this is your situation, then change your plan to the cheapest one of $15, add funds to cover the cost of the plan (less any rewards), and then reactivate the plan.

 

Then contact Eastlink back to send the text approval again.

Why would pm unpin such an important announcement from the landing page? It is impossible to find due to the sheer number of new threads created by oracles moving them out of the announcement thread but with the same subject line. That was a half hour out of my life I won't get back.....

 

 


@darlicious   it is not the post was unpin but it was gone.  I have bookmarked it but it no longer existed

Your PM account has to be Active until port is successful. Once ported, your PM account will close automatically.  (You should remove any credit card info now though)

@Lindsay2   you can ask Easlink to re-trigger the process again.  If still not receive the text, make sure you didn't block 611.

 

Also you can open a ticket with PM Support with this direct link:
