Change GV # to Vonage and Drop Vonage

(1/2) > >>

BrandonRB:
Is there a way I can change my GV # to my current Vonage # and drop Vonage?  If I drop Vonage first, will my phone # be available using the change # process in GV? 

Thanks,
Brandon

Rick:
You need to port your Vonage number to Google Voice.  If you try to do that in GV, you probably will get a message that it cannot be ported, which means you have to port it to a cell phone first, then to GV.  There are posts everywhere about that process.

RFord:
In addition to what Rick said, you SHOULD NOT cancel your Vonage service until the port from Vonage to the mobile carrier is complete.  If fact, I would recommend you cancel Vonage AFTER the port from the Mobile/Cell Carrier to GV is completed.  If you cancel service before the initial port, you will lose your phone number.

Excellent, thank you both for the assistance.  I am new to all of this kind of tech, so I really appreciate you taking the time to post!

Thanks Again,

Just to add more to what is said above, GV only accepts porting of existing numbers from three or four mobile carriers.

So you port your existing number to one of the three or four, for 24 +/- hours, then port to GV.  T-Mobile is one of those three or four carriers, and it's why you see people asking 'what's the cheapest pay-as-you-go T-Mobile phone I can get?'
