I dont think you can port a existing land line to google voice like you can with a mobile #. I could be wrong. Google Voice FAQ- http://support.google.com/voic

  Fine, then port it to Magic Jack for $20 a year, and forward the calls to your cell phone

  "I dont think you can port a existing land line to google voice like you can with a mobile #." Correct. However you can (I did) do this: 1) Move the landline to your cell phone provider (assumes you have a family plan, if you don't convert to one for the time necessary to do the other steps). 2) Once the number is at the cell phone provider you can transfer it to google voice (and get rid of the family plan if you didn't have one). Took a few weeks. 3) You can buy an http://obihai.com/ http://obihai.com/ device if you want to be able to hook up a traditional POTS phone to get the calls. Or you can just make and receive calls at the google voice website. Note: I did this with the cell phone provider being AT&T. I would assume it will work with other cell providers but it does with AT&T.

  > I could be wrong. You're wrong. Walk into any wireless carrier store, grab the cheapest pre-paid phone, transfer your landline # to the prepaid phone. Log on to Google Voice and now transfer your mobile number. I did this for my parents who were still using Vonage. Works flawlessly.
