I am transferring my digital phone number from Primus to Public Mobile. I started the transfer on Thursday morning. I called my previous provider Primus, and they said that Public Mobile has to complete the transfer of my phone.Could  you please complete this transfer. Thank you.

I will receive a confirmation message on the phone, correct?
 

Correct.  You usually will receive a text.  You can continue to use your Primus line if it is still working.  Once the Primus line stops working, check your mobile line.  

 

My recommendation is not to contact CSA yet.  It has not been three business days yet if you started your port on Thursday morning.  If you have the port has not been completed by Tuesday or Wednesday next week, you can contact CSA.

@lotuslyric1 

i suggest you to contact customer support so they can investigate what the status of the port is basically you just need to wait 3-5 business days for the port to be completed,

after 5 days you put it your SIM card in your device and try it..

 

to be sure contact CSA.

Landlines and VOIP lines do take longer for port to be completed.  The official response is three business days, but practically up to one week.  That is with most mobile companies, not just Public mobile. 

 

Here is official policy.  No point contact Customer service agent since it has not been three business days yet.  

 

  • The number transfer process can take up to 2 hours to complete for a mobile phone number. When you transfer a landline number, the process can take up to 3 business days. You may experience mixed service during this process until the transfer is complete. When your number transfer is complete, you will receive a confirmation text message.

2 weeks and pay my old provider for the same period. And phone is still not working. Doesn't make sense. If transfer can't be done, the other option for me to move somewhere else.
