New sign up, can't swap phone number

I just signed up for public mobile and want to swap my Koodo number but it's giving me error unable to transfer. I was on a prepaid Koodo plan and I used the same email for both accounts. Also I signed up at Walmart and didn't get $25 credit + $10 referral credit. Who do I get in touch to transfer my number?

If it is a prepaid Koodo account, you will need to contact moderator to transfer/port the number.  Unfortunately, at least 24 hours for response.  The credit should be within 72 hours.

 

Here is instructions to contact moderator:

@random55, I believe that because of sharing of backend systems, you cannot do number port from Koodo prepaid yourself and you were not supposed to use identical email.  You will need to seek moderator team assistance to complete the number port.  The moderator team can be reached via private message using this link.  Please include in the private message account number and PIN code. Refer to the following knowledge base link for additional information on contacting the moderator team.
