 I think I'm going to have to lose my number switching from Net10 to AIO. No combination of account numbers/PINs on AIO's online port form is working. I tried so many times they blocked my payment info. And AIO's customer service has been useless so far. I'm going to try calling the customer service once more in the morning in the hopes of getting somebody helpful and after that I'm giving up.

Why not just port it to Google Voice, take whatever number AIO gives you, and just point the new GV number at the AIO number?

I mean I like AIO and all, but if you're having THAT much trouble, I would just do the alternative. Yeah, you'd be dealing with Voice and it's shortcomings (until they're hopefully fixed or somewhat made less painful by merging into Hangouts in about 2 months) but at least you'd get to keep your number.

Because Google Voice doesn't support my area code or something.

You can go back a page or two and see my account of ST to AIO porting. Rumor is though that a few dollars for a gophone or tmo sim, port out to there, and then porting into aio should be quick and easy. Don't give up just yet.

Yeah I read all I can on Net10/ST to AIO porting, thanks for posting the info. Didn't work for me though. If I were to get a TMO sim, does that mean I'd have to be on TMO for a month's bill, then switch to AIO? Or do I just activate on TMO and switch to AIO immediately? That actually sounds reasonable, since TMO sims are only 99 cents.
