$60/month Business Line, Cable company won't port phone number, need advice
ktcc:
Hi, I'm trying to port my landline business phone number (costing about $60/month for 1 line, $150/month phone & internet) to a mobile carrier but the cable company won't port unless it's a business line. Anyone have experience with this. I was thinking I'll open a sprint business line for a month then transfer the number. I'm ultimately looking to get on google voice because I can text with the number and it's free. I tried to port the number to a prepaid verizon line but it keeps getting denied because it's not a "business line"
Anyone have advice/experience dealing with a cable company that won't port number. Also will sprint business port the line to google voice or any other voip service?

I've used google voice as second line and it's been flawless and I want to have google voice on both lines.

Is your end target to move your number to a cellphone? Or is that an intermediate move to Google Voice?
Would the cable company prevent you from moving to a landline/voip service unless it was a business service?

Seriously, stop the ignorant, useless posts. The cable company is misinformed, to put it mildly. FCC regulations require that carriers make their numbers available to be ported out to any carrier that can accept the number. It's none of their business what type of service is selected.
I already posted this correct answer in the OP's duplicate thread.

I eventually want to go to google voice but the cable company won't port to "non business" line. I spent hours trying to port it over but they kept saying they only port to business lines. So I am going to try to port to sprint business as they have a $15/month plan for business.
Unless you could let me know how I can convince the cable company to release my number to a prepaid verizon plan I have been trying to port to. They say business lines do not follow port rules for non business phones.
