Activated iPhone 5s - 2 days later the phone still does not receive calls

[Core2]

Ported a number from a T-Mobile pre-paid $3 a month account my son had to Verizon.  The new iPhone has been activated for 2 days now.

The new iPhone can call out from the ported number, but incoming calls are going to VM.

Is this just a waiting perioud of porting a number?

Porting should only take a max of 24 hours. Is the old device off with the SIM card removed?

I would try restarting it, even powering it down, removing the SIM card for a minute and then putting it back in.

Could be a hang up in the porting process.  This porting dept number can help.  888-844-7095

I have done that a few times, and the old phone is currently powered off.

I'll give it until early afternoonm and then try calling Verizon again.

Fornatuately this is a kids first phone, so he does not know any different - as of yet.

Called the porting dept number 888-844-7095, and that did the trick.  Thanks!

Yeah, sometimes things just get hung up, especially during porting.  The small MNVO providers (and prepaid carriers) are the slowest, but the major carriers are usually quick.

It was a $3 per month T-Mobile Pre-Paid on an old iPhone 3GS. I decided to

port and turn the phone in for the $300 credit....
