I just had luck porting my local number I followed this process here http://www.zdnet.com/blog/diy-it/diy-it-project-guide/373 The only difference is I used Tracfone. Although I would not use them again. They have terrible service. The biggest Issue I had with them is that they think everything being ported to them is already a wireless number. So make sure you let them know you are porting an AT+T number. After three attempts that finally worked. Essentially as I suspect the process they use requests as a standard ATT wireless but once I got to speak to a manager the process went through smoothly.
Once the number is live then request and port your number using Google. That only took 24 hours. The whole process took about 4 days once I got tracfone to listen. The cost was 19 for the phone, 14 for the minutes, 20 for the google transfer, 60 for the obhi202. For Free calling = priceless!
Good luck
The link to the process does not work anymore. I have the obi100. How do I port my AT&T landline number to the obi100? TIA

You do not port a number to the Obi device. You port a number to a "VoIP Provider" and then configure the Obi to use the VoIP provider. Here is the write up on porting to Google Voice, a sort of hybrid VoIP provider: Number porting to GV - my experience
