Number porting to GV - my experience
Judgeless:
Stewart, Thanks for the help. I think I am going to try Callcentric. Do you think there will be an issue porting it from T-Mobile?
Stewart:
I'm not affiliated with Callcentric (or any other company), so can't make any guarantees, but their page at http://www.callcentric.com/lnp/ says that your number can be ported, and IMO their support is awesome. Good luck.

Just ported my land line from AT&T to GV by following the instructions in the first post. It worked very well, each porting step took 1-2 days. The longest part was getting the prepaid SIM card mailed to me, it took over a week.
Well worth the $22 to preserve my home number and to now have more features and flexibility.
I was given two direct numbers to the T-Mobile number porting which I'm posting here in case they are useful to other people:
1-877-789-3106
1-877-207-8169

I am having the worse luck on this. It took me 5 weeks to port my landline from Winstream to T-Mobile. Then found out I cannot port it from T-Mobile to Google Voice.
Yesterday I started the port to Callcentric. After I started the port I got this email.
Note you would be billed according to the number service which you ported your number to. You can expect an average porting time of 15-45 days with most ports taking 25 days.
Now I have to wait another 3 weeks. I do not understand how everyone gets this done in a couple of days.

When I ported my landline from Windstream to T-Mobile it took 5 weeks and I spent about an hour each week day calling both Windstream and T-Mobile to make it happen.
I called T- Mobile at 1-877-789-3106 each time. I gave all my info to the first person each time and then they transferred me to the land line porting group. I had to give all my info again. With Winstream there customer service department was worthless. I filled a complaint with the FCC and a lady named Karen from Windstream called me and I used her every day to make sure all the fields were correct. It took many many attempts for the two companies to make it happen.
