Need some help with ordering Xfinity Voice

I was recently notified by Verizon of their plan to discontinue our copper-based home phone service. I figured now was a good time to port our number to Xfinity Voice. Verizon's been charging too much anyway, and we have a limited rural calling area. We also pay a separate long-distance company. I replaced the modem and router with a new Gateway. I don't know why, but there's no option in my account or the Xfinity app to order Voice myself. Can someone assist me with this please?
