Number porting to GV - my experience
worthmining:
Has anyone tried to turn on two phase authentication on google and tested with obitalk?
truelies:
After one week, still didn't port to Tmobile. Called Tmobile they said that they porting system currently not work, needs about 1-5 days to fix it. My landline not working, dsl works.
truelies:
Today my number was ported to tmobile, but after I went to google voice, it shows
Porting your mobile number to Google Voice is unavailable
Your mobile number can not be ported at this time.
- This number appears to be from an area we don't currently support for porting.
Does this mean I will lost this number? I think it's a tmobile problem, will wait a few days to see if it works.

I am very analytical and do a lot of reading before jumping into something like this. My lack of understanding of how everything works burned me. Here are some rules I learned.
1.) Google voice will only transfer numbers from cell providers.
2.) Moving your Landline to a cell provider does not guarantee that you can then port that number to Google Voice.
3) Go to http://www.telcodata.us/search-area-code-exchange-by-ratecenter-state?ratecenter=elyria&state=oh and enter your city and state. If Bandwidth.com is not listed under your NPA-NXX you will not be able to port it to Google Voice form a cell carrier.
4) Never cancel your landline or cell line number before the port is complete. Your original account will be closed after the port.
5) If you have DSL on the same account as the number you are porting it will stop working when the port occurs. I ordered a second DSL line in the house with a new account before the port to keep the service going.
Hope this helps others.
That's not true, my 281-778 listed under NPA-NXX, but can't port.

Why you think you would lose your number if you keep your pre-paid TMobile account funded? TMobile has some restrictions on this (six months of non-use and you do lose the number), you'd be wise to get familar with those if you're worried about losing the number.
The worst case here is you can port the number back to a landline in your house. The middle ground tradeoff case is you port to a VoIP provider other than GV, and pay a monthly fee.
