The answers to all of those questions should be yes, except perhaps in a few rural areas that don't have portability yet.

For portability purposes, there's no such thing as a VoIP number. VoIP carriers contract with CLECs for their numbers (or might be a CLEC in AT&T's case), and CLEC numbers are POTS numbers.

I've ported a number from Vonage to Lingo, nothing special about the process.
