I know this is possible as I have done it before from wireless to wireless but the Landline port is more complicated.
I just want to eliminate the cost of a landline by porting the number to my Rogers account and replace the existing cell number. The Landline is not with Bell but with CoopTel. Unfortunately CoopTel do not allow porting to Rogers or Bell but only to Koodo and Telus. Rogers Tech Support confirmed that they can Port a number from Koodoo. I open a new pay as you go account with Koodo and ordered the SIM card for my older Cell and requested the porting. This work great as the Koodo account is my old Landline. I am now waiting for the hooks from CoopTel on my landline to be severed (still have a busy signal on the landline phone) I will then ask Rogers to Port the number to my current Cell account, et voilà.
At this point I cannot go online and initiate to port this number as Rogers porting service shows that the number is out of area which means, to me, that the number is not fully released to Koodo or is it something else?

If Rogers does not have native coverage where that number is based and does not offer service there. Rogers can not port in a number from an area they do not have network coverage in.

Rogers is the main cell provider in our area as the tower is the closest and signal is very good. Other providers not so much. Yes, Rogers deserve the area.
