Vonage How long have you had that Bell South number?

How long have you had that Bell South number?
If it's a reasonably recent number, then it may just be a fluke because of how the system seems to work. It seems the number still comes up in the system with the original authority, even after numerous ports (and time to let the system "update"). One of my cell phone numbers hit a bit of a snag on the port to Nextel because it still showed up as an AT&T Wireless number (even though it was ported to Verizon the day LNP was on for that area, stayed there for two years, and I recently sent the port to Nextel). Nextel wanted an AT&T bill and account number and called me for it, I just told them it was indeed a Verizon number and the account information they had was correct and they put it through and it worked.
It's possible your area just has a crunch for numbers and Bell South is issuing whatever they can (even if it was originally assigned to their mobility side). If they're running out of numbers, perhaps they're "porting" internally so they can use up their numbers and not have to pay a fortune to buy someone else's.
Of course this is all moot if you've had the line for quite some time. If so, sounds like someone is just not doing their job. Perhaps Bell South isn't letting the number go because the request is going to the wireless side when the landline side owns the number now, or you just got a standard "I type this 75,000 times a day" response from someone at Vonage who just did a quick look at the request information.
It's a real shock to come here and see all the people having problems with ports. [Knock on wood] I've done about 15 ports (wireless-wireless, landline-wireless) on my various business lines and they've all gone through in a maximum of 6 hours. I guess landline-"landline" is a different beast, though.
