service providers, only Verizon Wireless publicly supported the new wireless
local number portability (LNP) policy as the option became available nation-wide

Porting has actually become very simple over the past couple years. You can call customer service and request that they port your number in from any provider. Usually within 10-15 minutes, the port is complete and your number is active on your new carrier. Unless you have nextel, then you're just screwed. Because nextel "volunteers" all customers for a feature called 'number guard'. It stops any provider from porting the number out. Before porting a number out from nextel, you must remove 'number guard'. Which will take about 30 minutes to an hour because their customer service is so messed up and you get transferred 3-4 times before you get a rep that can remove 'number guard'.
