If you haven't already signed up for this service then you WILL need to do this first and foremost. Once you have signed up and signed in to your Shaw account you can then either make the choice to add your various mobile devices to the list. However I personally wouldn't suggest it as you will be able to do this much easier by simply signing in to the service "if/when" you ever use it. Especially if you have more than one device, like a phone and a tablet. You may find you never use your tablet to do this but might use your phone in which case when you go to sign in you will have the option to 'save the device' at that time. Then when you go to connect to their wifi services it will automatically connect, just like how your home wifi works. The main reason I don't recommend signing up your device before you use it is because you may change the device before you ever use it on their service and then it will simply be confusing when you do go to connect and you get an error message that says something like "you have already registered the maximum amount of devices" as they are limiting you to this in which case you will then have to sign in to your account and remove one or more from the list you have already set up/registered.
