What happened!?! Ported out...
I have an ATT phone so I ordered a SIM card only, entered all the info to port out of VZW.
SIM card isn't supposed to arrive for a couple days, but my current VZW phone quit working yesterday. 😕

And to top it off ATT sent me the wrong size SIM. What's the point of giving them the IMEI if they aren't going to send the correct SIM? 😡 I needed a nano SIM for my Moto X. But I was able to trim the one that was sent to me down to size. And my phone is up and running now. 🙂
But I still may drop by a ATT store and get an actual NANO SIM.

All the back-office communication that happens at Verizon to release the number pays no attention at all to whatever timestamps and queues are triggered on the AT&T side of the transaction (i.e. SIM card insertion).

Initiating a port prior to the second phone being activated is expected to interrupt service in most cases.
