Moving to new state want portable number there

I will be moving next month to a new state, and would like to get a number there as my phone number. I would like to have the ability to port that number to someone else in the future. So this is what I was thinking of doing, signing up for a basic phone service with the Qwest the local phone company there, then porting that number to Vonage as soon as possible. My question is how long do I need to keep the service with Qwest to be able to port it out to Vonage?

Thanks,
David

you could also contact vonage and ask for the availability of an area code in that state where you will be moving to.[numbers are computer generated, but area codes you can choose] Wink

it is pretty simple as long as you want to take a vonage number. it is as simple as calling and requesting to change your telephone number to that is suited to your particular locality.Hope that helps.
