I work in the inbound sales group for a major wireless carrier and I have done only a handful of transfers. I have seen kinks in the systems(ours included) but was this not to be expected? You can test and retest a process but really only know if it works when it goes live. To complicates matters even worse you have 5 major players in the industry and we all use different billing and order systems. On top of it all the FCC is the ringmaster of this 3 ring circus act called WLNP. My suggestion to the slashdot masses... wait till Feb of next year when all the kinks are worked out and all areas are able to port and you will be good to go!
umm WRONG! You can move a wireline number to a wireless number if you choose. I just is a 3 day process. Take from someone who does it day in and day out for the same company...
