Hi
You should first sign up without porting your number
That way you will have immediate access to your account in a case you need help of moderators. Another benefit is that you can check it out and really see if it works for you before moving your number
To do that you need a sim card and a payment. I highly suggest autopay with credit card as you get $2 of every month. If you don't have a credit card there are some suggestions here in the community you could look it up or send me a private message and I'll pass you some links that may be very fast.
If you are with koodo you may also want to use different email address temporarily, you can change it to your usual number after successfully porting your number.
Once you decide to port you can do it from self serve by logging into your account. You can change your number for free once every 30 days.
One more thing, you can get $10 credit if you have a referral from a friend, and your friend gets$1 every month you stay with public mobile. To get it you will have to enter their number on the first page of sim registration form.
Cheers
