$5 port fee. $2 monthly.
I guess for a period of 7 months or less it might be worth while, otherwise why wouldn't you go with GV?

I just use google voice. $20 to port and free from there on. Free call forwarding, free texts (via the app), and all calls I make from my phone automatically go thru my GV # (and from overseas I can make all calls from the GV app with original#)
It's been over 3 years now. Only issue is sometimes companies dont like the number because they see it's virtual, so then I'd use the actual number on my sim).

I had Verizon prepaid and I just called up customer service and told them I was out of the country as an exchange student and they pushed off the account expiration date for a year. I did this for four years consecutively and never paid a penny.
