Porting Number Nightmare
I've been trying to port in a number into my tmobile prepaid account for over a month. Apparently there there is a glitch in T-Mobile's system where my current number is stuck so it never even tries...
It should not take that long. Without revealing too much information. Are you in a very rural area that potentially isn't covered by T-Mobile's 911 service? Are you in an area where the number block is basically owned by the local company and cannot be ported out? Is your number covered under one of the FCC's restrictions that it can't be ported for a few reasons? A little more info might help a lot in trying to determine why.
My girlfriend's original number we tried to bring to T-Mobile could not be ported in because T-Mobile doesn't offer 911 coverage for that area. Instead, we ported it to Google Voice and she took a new number.
