This Reddit thread concluded that because a T-mobile account was suspended for non-payment and the number is unportable while suspended that the customer was out of luck.

I don't see how that matters legally. The FCC requirement doesn't make portability conditional on some account status defined by the carrier. But IANAL.
- pxeboot 8y agoSince T-Mobile holds the primary numbers for Google Fi accounts, going from T-Mobile to Fi legally isn't a port, just a change in T-Mobiles billing system.
- jessriedel 8y agoI was just using T-Mobile as another example. OP wants to move from Google Fi to something else, and the reddit poster wanted to move from T-Mobile to something else. I wasn't suggesting a port from T-Mobile to Fi.
- toomuchtodo 8y agoYes. You’ll want to force a port from Google to AT&T or Verizon, and then back to T-Mobile if that’s who you want to end up with. If your port is delayed or denied, file a complaint with the FCC, as this starts the regulatory review clock ticking.
- slenk 8y agoDoes that clock still tick with the government shutdown?
- toomuchtodo 8y agoI don’t know. I’d assume no.
- mattnewton 8y agoIANAL but I assume so. It’s just the enforcement that would wait.
