If you are transferring from a Koodo prepaid plan you will need to select a new number at activation, create a Community account, and then send a private message to our Moderator Team here to complete the transfer to Public Mobile.

@Soch75  If you are trying to port your number from another provider best to pick a temp PM number and complete the activation. Once that is done and you created your selfserve account then you can login and setup the port using your selfserve account by selecting the change number option.
