Number porting to GV - my experience
Judgeless:
I am having a similar issue. I had a landline with Windstream. I picked up a T-Mobile SIM and had T-Mobile port my Windstream landline. It now works on T-Mobile. I went to Google Voice today to port the number from T-Mobile to Google Voice and got this error.
Porting your mobile number to Google Voice is unavailable
Your mobile number can not be ported at this time.
- This number appears to be from an area we don't currently support for porting.
Is there a time period that it has to stay at T-Mobile? Is there another service I can port them to?

There is no time period. I ported to TMobile, and initiated the GV port minutes after the TMobile port was complete. No idea why you are having this issue.

Can someone recommend a provider that might be able to port my number from T-Mobile so I can use it with my OBI box?

A quick look at the Elyria, OH rate center http://www.telcodata.us/search-area-code-exchange-by-ratecenter-state?ratecenter=elyria&state=oh shows Level 3 as the only CLEC, which likely explains your problem with GV (they seem to deal only with Bandwidth.com).
I'm a satisfied Phonepower customer; my DID is with Level 3, and I would assume that they can port your 440 number. Most providers have an online check for portability, so you could try your number on various sites to see your options.
Stewart:
VOIPo and VoIP.ms both have (Level 3) numbers in Elyria, so I assume that they could also port.
Callcentric site shows your number as portable.
I do not see your rate center on Anveo.
