How long do Ports from Nextel take?
Earlier today I finally took the plunge and upgraded my OLD Nextel and switched to Sprint. They were having a problem porting the number and gave me a temp. number until it finishes. The rep told me it cold take up to 72 hours to finish; is this correct? I am an AA for VZW and ports never take more than 24 hours. Does this seem correct?

In Nov '05 when I did the same thing it took about a day... I think they (by default) say up to three days because stranger things have happened....

normally from a few hours to 24 hours......any longer than that (porting from any carrier, not just nextel to sprint) then usually it's an issue with the carrier you are porting from. Alot of people want to blame the new carrier you've set up new service with, but this is in most instances not the case. If you don't give accurate acct info for porting, alot of times the old carrier will not release the #.
