How Long Before Google Sees a Land Line Ported Through T Mobile
Bob123456789:
Does anyone have any experience with how long it is until Google Voice is able to port a land line number moved through T Mobile cellular?
I am porting my land line number to Google Voice. My land line number was ported to T Mobile last week. Since then I have been trying every day to port my number from T Mobile to Google Voice. Every day I get the following response:
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.
Initially I just thought that it would take a few days for each companies data bases to be updated with the changes. Now I am starting to wonder if it is possible to port my number.
Diana:
This has been discussed many times before on this forum. Google Voice can only port certain numbers from certain rate centers and it appears your number is one of those rate centers that they cannot port from. I think Bandwidth is the name of the underlying CLEC that provide DIDs (numbers) to Google Voice and they might not have a presence in that particular rate center. There is a way to check this, but I do not have the link at my disposal. Google or search this forum.

I didn't mention that I live in the fourth largest city in the US, Houston.

That may be part of the problem. Too many rate centers to cover all.

I too live in Houston. I ported my home phone (281) through a Tracfone. No problems. It was done in under 24hrs. I didn't even have to add minutes.
Sorry you are running into this problem. Is your prefix one of the new ones?Quote from: Bob123456789 on February 13, 2013, 07:31:19 am
