How Long Before Google Sees a Land Line Ported Through T Mobile

Okay. Now I understand. I have followed your instructions and you were right. I do not see bandwidth.com under my rate center. I do see the local cable company who sells VOIP here. I guess the other person in the same area code must be in a different rate center.

Even if Google considers your number portable it does not mean that it will be ported, as I experienced and reported on this forum way back. I tried to port my mom's phone number via prepaid TMO to GV and while GV proceeded with the port it never finished it and after many weeks i had to call the CC company and cancel.
So it is hit and miss with GV porting.
Most VOIP carriers charge steep fees for porting, 20-25$. If you want to go low cost, try Localphone.com.
US calls are 0.5c/min, US DID 99c/ month and great int. rates. They charge 25$ for port in too, though.

I just checked and Anveo will port any number in the US or Canada for $0 now since they are running a special. Normally it its $15. The plan I am on has no monthly charge, calls to/from the US are $0.01/minute. I currently have an account with them for 911 service which was costing $0.84/month plus my Obi100 is already functioning with them. Still not as good as free if I had been able to port my land line number to Google Voice. I will try to have most of my calls go through my Google Voice number.
It sure would be nice if there was a way people could learn this before they commit to porting their home number through a mobile number to GV. I speant $50 buying a GSM cell phone + sim card and several hours.

What are the first 3 numbers of your phone number. That will give an indication of the rate center in case the Op has the same Area Code.
