Ported number not receiving calls?

I was #17 and got in the store at 8:02AM. I was there till 11:15AM, but I got a great 16gb black...

I had my number ported...The phone will make calls and my ported number shows up on caller id...

It will NOT RECEIVE calls and my voice mail is not coming through...

Is anyone going through or has gone through this before? It is now 4:57AM the following morning...
When should I be worried...I ****** I can't get any calls or voicemails...but happy with my new phone...

Is this normal or is something wrong? It was VZW to ATT...how hard can it be...

It's neither normal or wrong. I have heard of them porting within hours, I have heard people waiting days.

If you can make calls and not receive, give it another day... then call AT&T.

It's a lot more complicated than you think. There is a lot of routing on every number called every day. It's not a simple "this number goes to this phone". It's how it's routed to through many systems. If you really knew how advanced a cellphone call is just to connect you, $70 sounds cheap.
