if you call Verizon's activation transfer people, they can help - they did mine while I was on the phone with them.

 

I've transferred numbers before, not with Verizon, and everything was done on the day. No waiting or anything. As far as I knew, I thought you were supposed to go ahead and do a transfer without actually cancelling the other service, which would result in losing the number. Doing a transfer signifies to the company what is happening and gets taken care of, but it could be different now. You can always call up Verizon and get clarification. I wouldn't want to wait either.

 

I just picked up a new Moto Droid from Best Buy and they ported my number from Sprint in 5 minutes.

Took longer to lookup the BlackTie protection than it did to setup the phone.

when I got my droid last week. they had it activated and setup with all my google info in under 2 minutes.

of course Im already on verizon.

 

Definitely not a wait.
if possible go to a store and get it activated.

 

No way! My transfer from AT&T took 43 seconds...
