BACK IN-STOCK !!
911 Service Providers:
Anveo - .80 cents per month www.anveo.com

The cheapest way to port your number from landline to GV is via T-Mobile. They will port your landline number to TMo for free. They will also mail you a prepaid SIM with 10mins for free to do the porting. SD link here for the TMo card: http://slickdeals.net/permadeal/8...r-or-micro

The free promotion is still going. Currently it's $9 discounted to free for the regular SIM. I inserted it into my unlocked AT&T phone for the port process, but should work with any unlocked GSM phone. From TMo to Google will cost you $20.
