    On August 9, 2024, I started the process of switching my phone carriers and having my number ported to the new one the company that I am with now trying to drop is Pure talk mobile and they are refusing to release my phone number to the new carrier, which is ******** I have tried the last four days on the phone at ******** with their reps and ******** pure talk will still not release my number. They say that someone else a year ago try to take that number and it was denied, but they say since somebody tried theres nothing that they can do so theyre holding my phone number hostage.

    3x have called in 2 days to be on hold for 1* hours only to be disconnected. When I have reached someone they cant hear me because Im breaking up, hence the reason Im calling for help. I then get transferred to technical support and then sit on hold eventually to be disconnected. I called last week for same reason which was not corrected and then they send me a new SIM card, no instructions and no idea why. It cant be installed because i already have an account. This company is the WORST!!! I continue to only be able to operate in SOS which you cant make calls from and Im not able to access any apps like FB, news reports, anything.
