Our landline ports are instantaneous. (Or so we think.) It?s always been that way for us. I didn?t know there was any other way.

For example if I take my Sprint cell phone to an AT&T store, and switch over to AT&T they can do this almost instantly. I met someone one time at a tradeshow claiming they could do same day porting for landline numbers just as the cellular industry did, but I was not sure how he was doing it or if it was a myth. I know cell systems are more automated and require a pin.
