the LNP questions should be discussed with your new provider, not the provider that currently has the phone number that you want to port…

talk to the company that is handling your digital line and see if they can port the number for you.
First and foremost, don’t disconnect your CenturyLink number until your digital phone is in. Look for a provider that has porting and ask them. That means no MagicJack or cheap companies and you may be out of luck if your dial tone provider doesn’t have lines in your town. You can usually check that out with your provider or find the data at http://www.nanpa.com It’s one of those deals where you look up your area code and start looking for switches with the same code as yours. Not a super easy task, but it is fairly easy to see the pattern. One of the most common VoIP providers is Level 3 which is usually serviced by Vonage, 8×8, Phone Power, and possibly even Ooma.
Good luck and next time post area code and exchange for faster service.
