Check and see if your old account is still active. If so then you have to renitiate your port request and call your old service provider, verify you are the account holder and verbally authorize the port.

@Jiggy 

We need some more info to understand your issue...

 

  1. You activated a pm sim card and put it in your phone? Did you reboot ?
  2. Do you have services? Calling? Texting? Data?
  3. Did you port your number in upon activation? Or choose a new one?
  4. If you ported did you reply YES to the the PAT (porting authorization text)?
  5. Can you access your self serve account?

 

@Jiggy 

More details would be helpful.

When did you port your number?

Which company did you port from?  Was the account active?  

What happened when you put in your PM SiM card in phone?  Any signal?

@Jiggy 

do you receive message from your old carrier asking to confirm if you would like to port your number. Your reply should be: YES.

 

and if you don't receive it yet put it back your old SIM card and do rebooting your phone 

 

what is mean for Rebooting the phone means to turn off your phone and turn it back on again.

Hello @Jiggy 

 

What exactly are the issues you are experiencing? 

Do you have any services at all?

You ported a number to Public Mobile...was your previous provider's account still ACTIVE when you ported, this is important that it is.

 

Try one or more of the below:

*turn off your phone, leave off for a minutes, then reboot

*removing your SIM for a few minutes, then reinserting it

*go into airplane mode for a few minutes, then going back to regular mode

*reset network settings

*Is your phone locked? Contact your previous provider to unlock it for you. You will need your imei number, dial *#06# to get it.

*Check if your phone is blacklisted here: https://www.devicecheck.ca/check-status-device-canada/

 

 

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.

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.

 

See helpful info. here: https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/bc/get-help/articles/port-fraud-protection

 

If you missed the text to approve the port, see here:

Make sure that you have the old sim card in your phone when you're porting your number. You should get a message from your old carrier asking to confirm if you would like to port your number. Your reply should be: YES.

 

The confirmation message can take a few minutes to come in. You have 90 minutes from the time of request.
