I also found out it might be hard or impossible to port out as well. There are still some legacy elements that we can't work around in this digital age. I guess I'll just start telling everyone to use my new number and keep an eye on what calls and texts still come in on the GV number.
I successfully ported my GV number out to VOIP.ms last year with very few issues. Once at VOIP.ms, it is easy to port back and forth to other services if need be. It's not that bad.
Between this post and my carriers website saying they don't do ports from GV I assumed I was screwed.
I should clarify; porting out of GV to a different VoIP service is doable, but I'm not sure about getting it to a cell carrier.
