PIN from petro-canada?

LGuo

I see people says"If you transfer a number from Petro Canada Mobile to Fizz you will need a Pin number provided by them. "
I just order a SIM from fizz, want to transfer my number from petro-canada, how can I get the PIN, call petro-canada or what?

I never saw that, you need the contract number or the IMEI

If you need a referral code this is mine K61CD, in order to have 25$ after the 2 month

@Mike It's a prepay plan so there is no account number

LGuo,
You need to call Petro - Canada to get the PIN.
In my porting process with another provider, I had to provide the PIN and the address. I guess you also need the address you put on your Petro - Canada's account. The PIN and the address uniquely identify your account.

I think you can go to your petro-canada account online and have the pin. If you don’t find it contact their support because according to this page they need it https://mobility.petro-canada.ca/support-number-portability.aspx

Yes you can call them.


See section "Porting your Petro-Canada Mobility number to another service provider" in

Usually Petro Canada account number and your name on account is sufficient for porting.

Seems it's also good to get the account password / PIN from Petro-Canada.
