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.

How do cellular carriers perform almost instant porting of number, and why can't landline providers do the same? 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.
