Number porting to GV - my experience
Rick:
Jim:
Some people should not get an OBi. It's somewhat technical to setup. You may be one of them.
1) No question was asked. You've been told what to buy. Buy it.
2) It comes with a SIM. You may, or may not, need to add minutes (it may come with $10 of minutes, you need maybe 3 minutes).
3) Wrong forum.
4) Wrong forum.

Seems like number porting from ooma to t-mobile prep-paid is complete. Calls both ways goes to t-mobile. GV says I can port my # but gives this message.
Number Porting is currently unavailable. Please check back again tomorrow.
Any one had this issue before where they have to wait longer after port to t-mobile is complete?

Seems like there is some break down on GV number porting process. Sigh. Had I known that before I finished my transfer. I hope Google bring that service back up ASAP. :(

In the **CORRECTED** GV Product Forum thread you linked to, note the entry about halfway down: "Links to some blogger's rant about Google Voice have nothing to do with this outage".
I agree, mostly because I don't want what he says to be true. And it does seem to be a one-off rant. And he makes it sound like the end of the world is right around the corner.
The absolute worst case that I can see happening is the free use of GV for your home or main phone number goes away, and you then port your number to a competing low cost VoIP provider. Or in the worst of worst cases, you have to go out and get a new number. No matter how it plays out it will be no where near the cost of a POTS landline with similar levels of services.

I saw that post. I won't take that far. I know GV will be around for long time. My only concern is that I can't port my number at this point - stuck in limbo. I need my phone # at my home ASAP.
