"Unable to Transfer Number" Error

Hello, 

 

I am trying to port over my 604 area code number and I am getting an error "We were unable to transfer the phone number you entered." I typed in the number without dashes or spaces. Can someone PM me on how to fix this?

@gavinhee  As already mentioned if your number was with Koodo prepaid you need to setup the port by submitting a ticket to the PM moderator team. Include your Koodo account number, name on the account and your koodo number.

 

To submit a ticket to the Moderator Team, please start a conversation with the Public's virtual assistant, SIMon by clicking the icon below:

@gavinhee is it a prepaid Koodo by any chance? A few of the providers you need to ask a moderator to help you port it.  Just pick a new temporary number if you're activating now and then you can port your old number after. Don't cancel your old number account!

Is the phone# still active with your other provider ?

If you are having trouble with your services, the next step is to contact a moderator. Here is the link to create a ticket through SIMon: https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/bc/get-help   -> Click on Chat with Simon- on the line "ask me something" write "moderator" -> then click on "account specific question" -> afterward click on "no, I want a human" -> finally you will see an answer "submit a ticket Click me!"

Is the number currently active?  Did you say that you were authorised to move the number on the list of things that need to be done to port over a number?
