New phone added to account

I ported my wife's T-Mobile phone over to VZW today. I already have one
phone and a corporate discount, so I brought hers over to VZW (T-Mobile
offered horrible upgrades and she'd been with them forever), as well.
The port was actually completed before I even got back home (in about 10
minutes max). I was amazed at how fast they got it done. However, the
T-Mobile phone can still make a call out. The new VZW phone can both make
and receive calls with the ported number. I did notice a couple of text
messages dropped in on the old T-Mobile phone hours after the port was
complete as well, but subsequent test messages went to the new VZW phone. I
called T-Mobile and the rep said to wait a few hours to see if the T-Mobile
phone will stop allowing outbound calls.
Does this usually take longer on one carrier than the other? I assumed the
new phone would become active the same time the old one was deactivated, but
that did not happen.
Thanks

I find this hard to believe, since T-Mobile uses GSM, while VZW uses CDMA.
The phone would be incompatible and no VZW store would activate it.

I'm guessing he meant he ported his phone NUMBER, not phone. Notice he
says that the t-mobile phone would still make calls out, but the new
verizon phone got all the incoming calls.

In re-reading the post I think you may be right.
Sorry for the confusion.

Sorry for the delayed reply. Yes, I did mean the phone number was ported,
not the phone. A T-Mobile (or any GSM phone for that matter) would
definitely not work on the VZW network.
By the next morning, T-Mobile had deactivated the original phone and I was
no longer able to make a call out. They may have delayed the cancellation
slightly to make sure the port went through. I am not really sure.
Sorry for the confusion.
