Number porting to GV - my experience
JeffW:
@Shawnk71 -- From your post, it appears you are replacing your Comcast landline service with GV. Once you set up your OBi with GV and port your landline number over to GV, that phone number will remain your home phone number -- only exception is you will be paying Google $0 (for domestic calls) instead of Comcast.
Important note: Don't cancel your Comcast service until your number porting is complete. Porting your number usually automatically cancels your current phone service. If you cancel your Comcast service first, you'll likely lose your current number.
Before I explain further, do Step 1: Go to T-Mobile's website and also to AT&T's website and see if either or both of them can port your number to them. As an example, in my area T-Mobile could not port my landline phone number, but AT&T could which is why I ended up using AT&T for the porting process. If T-Mobile will port it, there are plenty of posts in this forum with instructions. Most OBi users have used T-Mobile. If you strike out with T-Mobile but AT&T will port it, refer to my previous post on how I did it with AT&T.
If you need more help, just re-post and I'll try to walk you through. It was easier than I expected.

I did order the T-mobile SIM card. I however, do not have a T-mobile cell phone.
My question is: Am I able to use any mobile phone device that takes a sim card. (ie.. I have an old tracfone and net 10 phone?) This is what I had understood upon placement of my order for the SIM Card.
Thanks for any help!

Any unlocked phone that operates on the same bands. TMobile, AT&T, and companies that use their networks.

I have an old Net 10 and an old tracfone.
1. Could I put the t-mobile SIM card in those these?
2. What exactly does "unlocked" mean in regards to cell phones?
