Did you port your number in upon activation? Was your account active when you did so? Did you recieve the PAT (porting authorization text)? Reply YES to it within 90 minutes of receiving it?

 

Contact your former provider to see if you can reactivate your account to be able to port it in. If it was a koodo or telus account it does not need to be active but you have to verbally authorize the port request. Then contact pm customer support to put in the port request for you.

 

Otherwise have the CSA assign a new number to your account. You can then choose a new number to your liking by using the change number feature in your account. You can change your number up to 4 times per 30 days.

@Becca07 

What were the steps you have done during your porting?

 

When you say toggling on then off…do you mean powering off the phone then powering back on or just turning off the screen?

 

Did you reply to the text from Bell with your old SIM in the phone?

@Becca07 

 

Was this a Bell cell number or landline you ported over?

 

 

If you just ported your phone number from another cell provider it could take a few hours to complete the port.

Using the other cell provider's SIM you should be still receiving calls on it, until the port completes.

 

Leave the OLD provider SIM card in your phone to accept the PORT via SMS/text.

If you missed this 90 minute window, submit a ticket via this link to re-initiate the port:

Link to contact Customer Support Agents (CSA) for porting to Public Mobile

 

If you ported from a landline it could take up to 7 days to complete.

 

Make sure you do not cancel your previous provider's services.

Incoming calls are usually the last to port over.

Most likely, your number has not been ported over.  Did you reply to a text message from Bell Mobility (with your Bell SIM card still in your phone) to authorize the phone number transfer?  While using your Bell Mobility SIM card, try call your number to see if your phone calls are still going to your Bell service.
