get a new cell, download the Public Mobile app, create account and activate a new plan. Take a new number temporarily. Once the service is up and running smoothly, you can inititate port from old provider...just don't cancel old account.
added...forgot to mention you need to get a sim before activating, but esim can be bought during activation. If you use hard sim, get one from Amazon or a local Mobile Klinik in your area.
