Is it possible to port a TracFone number running on the Cingular GSM system to a new post paid Cingular account?
By order of the FCC, this should be possible.
I have personally ported a Tracfone number running on Cingular GSM to a new prepaid T-Mobile 2 Go account.
I've also personally ported a Net10 number running on T-Mobile GSM to a new prepaid T-Mobile 2 Go account.
The second port took 17 hours after the TMo CSR told me it would take 72 hours because the number was a "wholesale" number rather than coming from a different carrier. The explanation didn't make sense to me, but they finished the port process 55 hours ahead of promise-date, so I was happy anyway.
I guess I don't know the right people, because I can't get away with anything around here... Rest assured, though, I will never maliciously properly quote anybody again!
