Matt,

   I have done this. I had a cell number with AT&T 
Wireless and first ported it to Broadvox Direct. There 
service was ok but ended up not fitting my needs as trying 
to run their Mediatrix box into my Asterisk box was just 
not working too well.

   I have since ported it away from Broadvox Direct to a 
Voicepulse Connect Account. I am running it straight into 
Asterisk now over an IAX connection and it has been 
working fine for me. Not a lot of calls come in on it, so 
I cannot really tell you what the real up time is on it. I 
just know that no one has ever told me that they tried on 
that number and could not get me.
