I got lucky and was able to port my number. Vonage will port any number they can. It depends on your area and the company that currently "owns" your number.


One word of warning here. There seems to be no way to tell if Vonage can port a number before you sign up. I had planned to have them take over my number from T-Mobile that I have had since 1999. The web site said they could port it, their reps also said they could. So I signed up, and that story quickly changed to "Try calling your Public Utility Commission", or "Port your number to another company first", but in both cases those suggestions were given with no information on what to actually do or who I could port it to so they in turn could take it over. I have since given up on the idea and really don't use the Vonage service much. Once I move on to another job and don't need it as a work from home phone, I'll be canceling the service.
