I don't believe they can refuse a port because you are on a contract, they
can charge you for early cancellation however. It is my understanding
that if the number you want to port is: a working number, it is in the
calling area you are located, the correct name, address, account number of
former carrier, and password if there is one on the account they have to
port the number. If they reject it, they must state why so you can
challenge them.

I presently do to business have accounts with Sprint, Alltel, Nextel,
Verizon. (cant stand Verizon or Nextel) I recently ported a number from
ATT which was a Voip number to Alltel. It took a week cause they said
even though it shows as a wireless they consider it a landline. They
first rejected it cause of address. My address and billing never changed
with ATT, however they outsource, in this case to Level 3 Communications.
ATT doesnt tell anyone but they used one address for all their VOIP
numbers in an area, even though their billing records are different. The
port company tried to reject my request because of the addy. So I had
Alltel pretend the other address was mine for the porting form, bam, my
number was ported immediately. (Actually they wanted another week but I
got their private number and raised enough hell they did it in two days)
