<div class="moz-cite-prefix">If both carriers have a good business
relationship and are willing to write matching orders in the NPAC
(winning carrier makes the subscriptions, the losing carrier
submits concurrence) you can port numbers in literally seconds.<br>
<br>
But we're not required to do things that fast so it rarely
happens. Why move fast to let our customers leave when we can
legally take our time and spend a couple days collecting more
revenue from them?<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
