Porting Time Warner Cable Phone # to OBi110
LeoKing:
I also ordered 2 SIM kits for my relatives.
MichaelC:
I have been trying to get a free cell phone from a friend, but that hasn't worked out. I don't even know what a SIM card does. Sucks that Verizon doesn't allow this porting as I have an old Verizon cell phone that isn't in use.
With that being what would be my best and cheapest way to get this done? I have an OBi110 just sitting here in my office! ???

borrow a tmobile phone from a friend, or buy a cheap one on craigslist, or try freecycle.org, then get a cheap tmobile sim card from tmobile.com
RFord:
You SHOULD be able to port your number to the Verizon and then to Google Voice. GV can only port from a Mobile Carrier at this time. The limiting issue is whether GV can port YOUR specific number, which depends on the rate center that the number is located. GV uses Bandwidth.com for their DIDs and they do not have a presence in every Rate Center. So, if Bandwidth.com doesn't have a presence in your rate center, you will not be able to port YOUR number to GV irrespective of which Mobile Carrier you use as the intermediate.
You can use the link below to see if Bandwidth.com can port your number. You need the first 6 numbers of your DID to use the tool:
NPA-NXX
