An interesting wrinkle I'm running against is that you cannot port numbers 
from a cellular carrier to a landline.  i.e. I can't port my cell # to a DID 
on my PRI.  I am not sure if this is just a line of bullshit fed to me from 
Bell Mobility (Canadian CDMA carrier) but I've not had the time to really dig 
in.  They claim that between cell carriers numbers are portable but not from 
cell to landline.
