Porting cellphone only, is it possible?

Mercurius:
Hi, instead of porting my landline, can I port my cellphone into GV then make it permanent, then link to Obi200 device to make calls?

Thanks.

N7AS:
Yes you can. GV only supports porting of cellphone numbers. Landline numbers can't be ported directly.

Mercurius:
So after porting to GV and makes the number permanent, can I disconnect the cellphone service and uses GV entire for day to day call?

Thank you for your reply.

N7AS:
Once you port your number, your cellphone service is terminated.

SteveInWA:
The process of porting a phone number from one telephone company (your cell phone provider) to another (Google Voice's carrier) cancels service on the losing carrier's side...you will no longer have service on the cell phone, and the number will instead be used as a Google Voice number.

During the process of setting up your Google Voice account, you will need to add and verify some OTHER forwarding phone number.  Google Voice is not a free phone company; it's designed to be an inbound call-forwarding system.  Your OBi can be one of the forwarding destinations, but you do need to add some other real, working, US telephone number when you port in the cell phone.
