How long does it take to port # from T-mobile to Sprint?

[JohnnyBeGood]

Just wondering if I should get new # or start port process?

Thanks!

I think they tell you that it can take up to 72 hours, but in reality it's usually just a couple of hours unless something gets screwed up. Just make sure that you provide them with the correct account number, password and SSN and you should be ok.

Start it - I have ported numbers a few times and it typically only takes 15 minutes if you do it in the store.

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.

Thanks for your experience. I ported my number this morning like 0600 when i got my evo4g. i haven't get a try since i m charging my phone. but thank you for mentioning about that last step, any rookie wont know that.

The rep told me this morning at 8am that I wouldn't be able to use my phone until sometime after 2pm .. (I was porting from AT&T to Sprint for the Evo)

I didn't believe him, as soon as I got home I tried out the phone and it worked just fine.. dude didn't know what he was talking about.

My T-Mo to Sprint port took just a couple minutes at Best Buy
