  It seems it is impossible to port a Sprint Wireless Number, 480-213-xxxx,
  outside of a wireless service.  Is this true?  Anyone experience that?  It
  seems strange that you cannot do this, with number portability rules and
  all (though I don't know the rules, so maybe this doesn't apply).

  Has anyone had success in the US porting a Sprint Wireless number to a
  VoIP or land-line service?
