Number porting to GV - my experience
Judgeless:
My port is not going as easy as the first post.
A week ago I ordered 2 SIMs from T-Mobile for $2.99 each. I selected free 2 day shipping. It took a day to process the order and I received an email claiming the estimated delivery will be Jan 21st. I could not wait so I went to a local T-Mobile store and paid $10 for a SIM.
Two days ago after I got the SIM I called the T-Mobile Transfer center and gave them all the info. They told me the transfer should take 24 to 48 hours. After 48 hours it was not working so I called T-Mobile and the lady told me that when you port a land line it can take 7-10 business days.

I took advantage of the T-Mobile SIM Activation Starter kit for $2.99 with free shipping. Since I had T-mobile in the past, I should be able to use an old phone for the temporary porting process. (Thanks Jimates for the heads up)
Now I am waiting for the SIM to arrive. Once I get the SIM, I’ll activate and contact GV to port the number, preferably on a Friday or Saturday to avoid any business calls that could chew up my 10 minute T-Mobile starter.
Well, I am STILL waiting for the T-Mobile SIM to arrive, 9 days later. Perhaps it was a scam. I sure hope the treatment Judgeless received is not the normal now for porting.
Anybody have any experience converting Landline/DSL to NAKED? How did it go? Any gotchas to watch for?

It took mine 10 days to arrive from T-Mobile. You can check status via the order number they provided and the T-mobile email link they sent.
My porting experience has been great so far. T-Mobile was very quick to port my Time-Warner Digital Phone number to them in about 36 hours after my initial request. Now I'm waiting on the port to Google.
The OBi100 interfce is working great with my existing GV number.
Judgeless:
It 14 days for me to get the SIM. It has been 7 days since I started the process with T-Mobile to transfer my Windstream land line phone number. I talk to T-Mobile every day. Each day there is another reason on why it failed. It is Windstreams fault. I am not going to give up.

My port from AT&T to T-Mobile to GV took a total of 5 days, 4 of them for the AT&T portion. A "simple port" is required by FCC regulations to take 24 hours. AT&T is now investigating the FCC complaint I filed due to their delay, they approved the port in a day and then made me sit 3 more days. T-Mobile to AT&T took EXACTLY 24 hours, to the minute.
