Number Portability issue.

I recently placed an order for Verizon triple play service (Order #{edited for privacy}). However when I was doing the order I was unable to put my current phone number for porting (I received a message that the number cannot be switched to Verizon). When I called in to talk to customer service, I was told to put my order through (because the rep could not get the deal I had via my online order) and call in to initiate a number porting request, because the support lady said that she was not seeing any errors for porting my number.

My phone number is currently with nettalk (www.nettalk.com). When I called in after placing the order, I was told that the number actually has some issue and that it is not showing up as a number that coule be ported. I was told that there might be some sort of hold (portability freeze, account issues, etc) on the number from nettalk and was asked to get in touch with nettalk.com. I did that and I got confirmation from them that nettalk does not have any restriction on my number. Also nettalk have given a contact email for verizon to send the details so that the number can be ported over.

Nettalk conversation:

16:40:59 Stephanie K: You will have to have Verizon contact our porting department. I just got off the phone with our porting department and there was not a hold on your number
16:41:16 Customer: ok thanks.
16:42:03 Customer: is there a phone number for the portability department? that Verizon can call?
16:45:30 Stephanie K: No problem at all. No, they contact us by E-mail at LNP@nettalk.com

Verizon customer service said that they cannot help and asked me to get in touch with phone support for assistance.

You will need to call 800-837-4966 for assistance

I am not getting anywhere with this and I have registered a complain with FCC. I am hoping that Verizon porting department to work proactively to help resolve this issue for me.

Any help/suggestions from this forum are appreciated. Please let me know if additional details are needed for assistance and I can provide them for you.

Thank you,

Rajesh.
