Transfer PIN and IMEI
1 minFor a cell phone, Canadian carriers ask for only one of these: the account number, the account password or PIN, or the phone’s IMEI. So the account number is enough. chatr did not give you a transfer PIN? Leave the field blank in Callizy. For a landline, what counts is the account holder’s name and the service address: write them as on the bill.
