Help Google Voice porting

No one huh? Well I just ported over my Google Voice number to Boost and everything is working sending/receiving calls, sending/receiving SMS/MMS to all carriers. If anyone else wants to do this or is in the process of doing this and needs help, post a comment and I will respond. Its too much to write all of it out. All in all it took about 4 days before I got everything working.

I got another Google Voice number that I am forwarding to my phone. I just wanted the Google Voice number that I ported to be my primary number. The number that I originally got from Boost has so many telemarketers calling me and most of them aren't even looking for me lol. The person that had my number before me is running from debt collectors and I wound up with their number. I have 20+ and counting numbers calling me for the person and I didn't just want to change my number, then risk having a similar situation and then have to change number again.

After my number was fully ported from Google to Boost I received an email from Google saying...

This email is to confirm that your Google Voice number (xxx-xxx-xxxx) has been ported away from Google Voice. Calls made to that number will no longer ring your forwarding phones and new voicemails won't appear in your Google Voice inbox.

Your Google Voice account has been downgraded accordingly, but your existing voicemails and text messages remain available in your inbox. You can also continue placing calls from Gmail.

You can upgrade your account at any time by getting a new Google Voice number.

Thanks

The Google Voice team
