Landline to VOIP portability?

Hi, I would like to know what are the portability issues with going from a Landline to VOIP? If I look up on Vonage my number and exchange it says that it is NOT portable. Is this a Vonage issue or Verizon? Should I be able to port any landline number to VOIP if is is in the MSA100?

Thanks in advance!

thanks rich!!!!

thanks for getting this info out to every body in a easy to understand format. one of my friends was going from alltel to att wireless so she could get a blackberry, luckily she just called to See what i was doing. in conversation she said she had to go by the alltel store to disconnect so she would be able to go to att tommorrow and get her new phone. i am glad she called because i saved her from losing her number. so my point alot of folks do not know what to do and you article explains everything in a format that even if you don't work in the wireless industry you can even understand.
Yea... thanks Rich for the great write-up!

I hadn't been here for a while and the site has come a long ways from when you were testing on a T68 🙂 CONGRATS for a great site!

Question

Would comcast digital phone service cause a home # to not work with LNP?
Are you asking if you can port a number from your cable provider to wireless?

HI Heather!

How is the snow in Minnesota?

Comcast digital phone gives out false info.

You have to switch your home # to Qwest, before bringing it to SprintPCS. I promise it will work, because this is what I had to do.

Questions re: portability

I am thinking about switching providers and retaining my current cell # but have a few questions. Lets say I take my cingular # and transfer it to Verizon's service. can i still receive email to my phone via my cingular address (mynumber@mobile.mycingular.com)? Next question, how does the free cell to cell work. If other verizon subscribers call my number (which is technically cingular even though i've switched to verizon) is it still a free call?

Any information would be helpfull
When you switch, it should be as if the number was always with your new provider.

Top 100 MSA's

Does this apply for landlinewireless only? Or does this apply to wireless->wireless as well?
This does apply for landline-wireless portability and can be done at any RadioShack or other wireless store for Verizon or any other carrier.
You mean does the Top-100-MSA limitation apply? Yes - it applies to both types of transfers, not just landline-to-wireless.
