What would be the benefits of this? Wouldn't that be the same as cancelling your verizon account?

Yeah we got rid of land line a few years back but we did get Vonage which was much cheaper. Fact was however we just didn't use Vonage and that was another waste of money so we got rid of that a few months back. Now it's simply our Droids, one number for the wife one for me.

I use only the 450 minute plan. Now when I'm at home I use Gmail's phone for outgoing calls.

Good for you. I still use one. The alarm system requires one or a very expensive wireless add-on and monthly fees. Additionally, with the hurricanes we get a land line is a must for outages.

It's just for porting the number. The ability to port doesn't remove the requirement for at least one phone to forward to.

wait... so let me get this straight.... porting my verizon number to GV... i can already get my verizon voicemail to my google voicemail where I can read it. The only benifit I can see is free textmessaging then.

So can I port my one line I have to GV and be ok with Verizon

Hum, I just signed up with Verizon beginning part of this month and ported my AT&T landline number without issue. 3 days after starting the port my cell updated from its temporary number to my old home phone number. Works like a charm.

Ah ok...I guess that's useful...but I would think people had landlines for a reason.
