Take the 2-minute tour ×  When I try to port my current phone
number to Google Voice I get the following error:  We currently
don't support porting from your carrier.  My carrier is US
Cellular. Does anyone have a work around? I really want to keep
this number as I've had it for almost 20 years.  I would be
willing to port my number to say T-Mobile if I could without a
contract, and then 30 days later port it to Google Voice.  Has
anyone tried this or do you have another work around?
share|improve this question Not sure if this pertains to Google
voice in particular, so I'll just make it a comment and not an
answer, but there is difference between local numbers and mobile
numbers and not all vendors can port between the two. –  MaQleod
Apr 20 '11 at 2:14 @MaQleod I have contacted US Cellular and
they say I can take my number anywhere. All I get from Google is
"you carrier isn't supported" even when I emailed support. I am
not sure if they are considered an land-line in the context you
are referring to –  Lar
