At the end of July I declared my intention to quit the iPhone and AT&T, port my mobile phone number to Google Voice and use any mobile device that I pleased (or lots of them at once) in the future. Like others, I will no longer blindly follow all things Apple. Today I’m pleased to report a status update on those efforts: complete. I am no longer a member of the Cult of iPhone.
Port Your Phone Number to Google Voice and Ditch Your iPhone
August - 9 - 2009 - Sunday 8 COMMENTS
Hey, you’re good! How the heck did you manage to get your phone # ported into Google Voice? I desperately need this for myself. So far, I’m unable to even reach anybody in there… Where do I start? Thanks!
Unfortunately as of right now most people unless you have an in at Google cannot port their phone numbers quite yet. If you look this up on Google’s Help section they should have it soon though.
“Although you can’t currently port your existing number to Google Voice, we hope to offer this option in the near future. Please tell us if this is a feature you’d like to see in Google Voice.”
For everyone that wants this service please click here and tell Google
i dont care how much i have to pay i want to port my number to my google voice number
thanks
Is there a contact email to start the porting process for Google Voice? I don’t even care if there is a nominal fee from Google for it. I want to get out of Alltel so badly I can taste it.
Any help would be appreciated. – Thanks
I’m not sure I understand how you will never do business with a cell phone company again. With a TMobile My Touch 3G, you still need a activated SIM card and a plan don’t you?
Any word from you Google contact as to when we normal people can port our number over to GV if we are exiting our carrier?
It’s usually free. You also control your number after a new bill was passed back in 2004 by President Bush. As long as you pay your bill you are good to port to a new carrier. This website give a timeline for number ports with all the major carriers and prepaids

I don’t agree with everything in this post, but you do make some very good points. I’m very interested in this subject and I myself do alot of research as well. Either way it was a well thoughtout and nice read so I figured I would leave you a comment. Feel free to check out my website sometime and let me know what you think.
