Five weeks here and the first four was because Ooma "lost" my port request and I had to start over. :(

Picard, that's nice to hear. I just started the process this morning, and my number is a Wisconsin AT&T DID as well. I'll try to remember to report back how long it took... once it's finally ported.

My port from Vonage to Ooma took no more than 3 weeks; I think one key is faxing the required forms/signature promptly.

The nice thing about my port was that I didn't have to do any more than fill out the online form. No faxing or snail-mailing anything to them. A few days later I got an email stating that my port completion date would be on December 3nd. I was pretty happy about that but then I got another email a few days later telling me that my port would be complete on December 16th. It ended up happening on the 3rd as the original email had stated. I was without service for a few hours but everything's been great since then.

My porting failed due to my address not being in the USPS database. Why? Because, as I explained to them when I initiated porting, the post office does not deliver to my home...I am forced to have a PO box and that is the service address appearing on my Verizon bill. However, their system will not allow for a PO box address to be used. So, after 3 weeks went by with no porting, I called them to explain it again and got involved with a supervisor. Now they promise I'll be ported 2 weeks later on Dec. 22. If it fails to port this time, I am going to cancel the request and get my $39.99 back. Then I am going to try another porting service that can also do call forwarding...here is a link to them: http://parkmyphone.com/plans-rates.php. If you notice, the porting charge here is only $15. I may just pay for a year's service to wean everyone off my old number....sheesh!!!
