Trying to port over TWO phone numbers and failing

Hi All,

 

I am currently in the process of trying to port over two numbers from Rogers and not having any luck at all. The first one I tried to port didn't go because I entered the wrong account number so understandbily I am waiting for a response back from a mod on that. The second number though I know 100% I put all the correct information in and I still got the error message telling me to submit a ticket. 

 

I sent a message to the mods a few hours ago but I haven't head back, I guess I'm just hoping some kind soul sees this message and is able to lend a hand.

There are ways to do it, for example adding +1 at the end of your email address. eg: yourname+1@gmail.com

I actually learned a new trick today. Google allows you to add "+1" or "+2" and so on for this very purpose.

 

I currently have three PM accounts linked to my email address. For example:

 

Your first account is linked to your main email account: yourname@gmail.com

Your second account is linked to your email as follows: yourname+1@gmail.com

Your third account is linked as yourname+2@gmail.com

..and so on for all of your accounts!

Just a question: Did you create the second account with Public Mobile with a different e-mail address? You cannot have two accounts with the same e-mail address.

I really don't understand why number porting is such a big hassle, since it is one of the most common thing people do...

go ahead and send the second message as its a different  issue.  but make sure you are clear that it is a seperate port. better yet restate both requests in one new message.  and say please ingore teh frst message as this one contains all the needed info.

@joeboutilier

That message is outdated.  There is no SIM & Activation online form.  Just need to wait from the moderators.

...I was looking for the same form. I'm also hesitant to send a message about the second line sicne I've already sent one for the first.

I am running into a similar problem, when I did the form originally, it seems to have gone okay, but 24 hours later I received a text from PM that says 

 

"Public Mobile here: We're experiencing difficulties processing your request to move to Public Mobile. Please go to PublicMobile.ca, click Contact us and complete the SIM & Activation online form. Thanks."

 

I am not really sure where that form is, is it the same one when I created my account?  Do I need to do it again?

 

Confused.

Sounds like you've done all you can for now.  Just need to wait for the Moderator Team to answer - could be 24-48hrs.
