yeah, mine only took an hour to actually port my number but the rep didn't tell me that i had to call in for the final steps, so i went an entire day without being able to send texts or get data. it wasn't until i tried to order pizza that i found out. i dialed the pizza place but the call went to sprint's customer service line instead to finalize my port.
you can also check here to see if it's been complete:
