If both carriers have a good business relationship and are willing to
write matching orders in the NPAC (winning carrier makes the
subscriptions, the losing carrier submits concurrence) you can port
numbers in literally seconds.
But we're not required to do things that fast so it rarely happens. Why
move fast to let our customers leave when we can legally take our time
and spend a couple days collecting more revenue from them?

How do cellular carriers perform almost instant porting of number, and
why can't landline providers do the same? For example if I take my
Sprint cell phone to an AT&T store, and switch over to AT&T they can
do this almost instantly.
I met someone one time at a tradeshow claiming they could do same day
porting for landline numbers just as the cellular industry did, but I
was not sure how he was doing it or if it was a myth.
I know cell systems are more automated and require a pin.
