Porting Tracfone Number to Google Voice

I ported my landline phone number to Tracfone and the transfer completed this morning.  I am able to make and receive calls on the Tracfone phone.   I went on the GV website to see if the phone number was now available to port to GV and saw that it was available.  It had not been available before when it was still my landline number.  I have read that people have had problems porting a number from Tracfone to GV.  I am wondering if I am okay to initiate the porting now or would it be best to wait a few days.  I still get a dial tone on my Frontier landline so I called Frontier and was told that it could be a few days until I was disconnected even though the phone number was ported.  Any advice based on past experience would be appreciated.

WAIT.  Wait until Monday.  If you rush it, you'll regret it, because the system needs a few days to catch up with your first port.
