Has anyone recently ported from T-mobile also had to wait many days? For reference, I am on the T-mobile 'pay as you go plan'.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but you can't port your number to Google Voice since you're in an area (rate center) that Google doesn't support. I would have thought you would have checked if your number could be ported to GV first before porting to T-mobile.
You can try Ring.To but since they use the same underlying CLEC it is unlikely that you'll be able to port to there either.
dircom:
if you enter your area code and prefix, you can check to see if Bandwidth.com has a presence in the central office

or

although I just ported a number last month to Ring.to , from 918-743-xxxx, and nothing shows up but Southwestern Bell
so perhaps I don't understand what I have read in the forums on how to check
but if you put in 716-489 for example, you DO SEE that Bandwidth.com is listed
but if you put in 716-357 (a town about 20 miles away) you don't see Bandwidth.com listed
SedonaSky:
What I do not understand is that I was able to transfer this number from Qwest to Cableone 4 years ago, and last week from Cableone to T-Mobile. It seems that the number is still owned by Qwest.
The phone number is 928-649-xxxx if that helps anyone analyze my predicament.
Can anyone recommend another third party solution to fix my problem of getting my number on Obitalk (or at least Google Voice)?
If I can perhaps port 928-649-xxxx to a service that just forwards numbers inexpensively, that would be all I need at the moment..
Any suggestions?
Thank you

It's already been explained to you, both here and on the GV forum, why you can't port your number to GV.

Port it to some other carrier that can accept it.

Is the process of transferring t-mobile postpaid # is as simple as submitting my t-mobile account #? I just did that and it did not ask me for a pin? Is that normal?
