Moving from Bell to Koodo. Just installed my Sim. Using both my computer and my phone I tried to use the Self Serve > Mobile Services > Transfer number but it doesn’t work.

First, I get a message on the first transfer screen that says:

“ You are not able to change your number at this time Oops! You can't change your phone number within 14 days of activating or renewing a phone. “

Secondly, I “CAN” proceed by choosing the “Transfer your phone number” option, but after I enter in my full name and Account Number from Bell, two screens later I get this error message:

"An Error Occurred. Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again."   What is going on? I need to transfer my phone number ASAP. My understanding is that I do not have to wait 14 days to do this. I was told it would take about 4 hours.       Chat Conversation End   Type a message...

Thanks for replying. Yes, I didn’t think I had to wait 14 days, but they give you that message.

What is port protection? I entered the Bell 10-digit number. And then - as requested - the Account Number from Bell. I have confirmed my phone number can be transferred. It was not a landline, but an iphone.

I’ve left the same message on FB. No answer.

I’ve also been on the Chat and tried to schedule a call, but they say they are too busy and have no “slots.”

This is nutty. I’ve a business to run and people won’t be able to reach me.

Any other thoughts? Thanks!

Their FB chat is not live.  Please give it some time and a rep will get to it and respond to you as they work through the queue

You don’t need to wait 14 days to transfer. The limit is for plan changes not for porting/changing your number.

Does your Bell number have port protection or something that prevented it from transferring? (I assumed you entered your porting informatio correctly). Was it a landline?

Anyway, you could also contact a social media rep via facebook messaging https://www.facebook.com/Koodo. He/she would help you out.

A Koodo customer, opinions are my own.
