I recently explored the joys of porting a number from Solavei(a T-Mobile MVNO) back to T-Mobile. This was originally a T-Mobile number. I went over my plans with both companies first then started the process Thursday morning. T-Mobile had my service working on a temporary number almost immediately. The number never ported normally. I called Friday morning and reentered the request. T-Mobile said Solavei didn't release the number. Solavei cut the service Friday afternoon. I was paid through that day. Saturday morning T-Mobile started a "number recovery process" and my number started working early afternoon.
