I tried to port my TBB number to Mobilicity but they say they can not port from Primus. Does anyone have any ideas or a workaround such as porting to another prepaid service then porting over to Mobilicity? Anyone have any experience doing this which provider this might work with? I am in Vancouver and the number is a Vancouver number originally from Telus.

Primus TBB to Telus Prepaid

I was able to Port my Primus TBB to Telus Prepaid and it took them 7 days to complete this process (Jun-2009), Porting from Landline or VOIP is messy and long.

I ported my Primus TBB number to voip.ms (not a cell service but a port is a port, can't see it being any different) and, like fmdream, it was done in 7 days. That was about a month ago.

I've been waiting almost 4 weeks now for voip.ms to complete my port from Primus TBB. Not sure which party is dragging their feet, but I sure do hope it gets completed soon.

BTW expect Primus to charge you an extra month worth of service, a "cancelleation fee" worth at least a month of service and some "hardware handling fee" for returning your ATA when you cancel.

Just in case you had any doubt about going back to them...

I've actually been really happy with Primus, I'm just switching to save myself some cash. I bought the gateway so as long as I just get the 1 month service charge I'm not to worried. Hopefully they'll let me switch the the basic plan for the last month.

I finally got my FOC date last night from VOIP.MS (with a FOC date set to today). All in all the port took just under a month, it's worth checking them out for a port TSM, it'll cost you $25 bucks if successful, and you get it refunded if they're unable to do it.
