Actually, I believe landline numbers can be ported just like a wireless number. I think it's an FCC mandate.

I'm not sure what you mean by this.

 

If you want to forward the home phone calls to your cell phone you can use call forwarding on your home phone service.

 

If you want to "port" your home phone number to BE your cell phone number - I have no idea if this can be done or not.  I know numbers can be ported between cell phone carriers, not so sure about porting between landline and cell phones.

Are you asking to take your Home Phone number and turn that in to your Cellular Number?  Doubtful as the Landline Carrier owns the number, but I am not sure if you had AT&T as your Landline what they would say if you wanted to do what you are asking.  Please give them a call and let me know as I would like that answer..

Yes, I was wondering if I could "port" my home number to a cell phone.  Couldnt remember what it was called, sorry.  I thought I heard that you could, but wasnt sure.  Thanks for your answers, I will look into a further.
