Yes, I did check earlier and just now and got:
"Ooops! We currently don't support porting from your carrier. We apologize and are working on adding support for more carriers."
So it looks like GV will port my number when it is from a mobile carrier.
My neighbor uses Verizon, is that an alternative? However Verizon is not GSM, only CDMA, not sure if GV cares. I can get a Verizon SIM card for about $10.
Yes, you can use any of the four carriers. I generally advise against using any third-party (MVNO) providers, since they aren't as skilled at dealing with ports out. H20 and Consumer Cellular are the worst.

Yes, wait. Make absolutely sure that both inbound and outbound calling works now on your T-Mobile phone, using your ported-in Vonage number. Make sure that the Vonage device does not ring on inbound calls.
Give it a few days in that working condition. Then contact Vonage if you can still make outbound calls on their device, and tell them that you ported out the number, and to cancel your service with them.
Background: this seems to happen all the time with Vonage. AFAIK, it is a chronically-broken process on their side, whereby they are not receiving, or not processing, the notification from the porting system that the number has been ported away, so it stays in their inventory in error.
