So there's been a lot of people having problems starting their new accounts with PM, I thought I'd share a good story to show people it's not all bad.
I started the process at around 10 pm on Wed, Nov 9th. I found this guide to be really helpful in knowing what to expect before you start the process. http://www.iphoneincanada.ca/how-to/how-to-port-switch-public-mobile/
I pretty much followed that guide, and when it came time to putting in my info I put in account number, IMEI, pin, alternate number and authorization name.
When I got close to the end and got to the payment portion, I received this error.
I read somewhere in the community that if a failed activation occurs, simply refresh the page, which is what I did and then the page said my activation was complete. Within minutes I got a confirmation email and my SIM card was able to get PM signal.
At first, only outgoing calls were working, and then eventually data when I fixed the APN settings. I am able to also get LTE data with my LG G4 (H812). I was initially unable to access my account as well. At about 10:50PM I received a message that the porting process was complete, and then I had access to profile on the PM website as well as outgoing/incoming text and incoming calls. All in all a really good process and I'm very happy!
