took a couple days for me
 
both when I switch from verizon to sprint and then Sprint to Cingular it took a little time before the old phone was completely deactived. It was rather interesting getting a call on one phone then calling with the other one.
 
I did my initial activation through iTunes and got an AT&T number. About a week later I called AT&T and ported by Verizon number to the iPhone. That whole process was done in about 30 minutes.
 
my verizon phone was shut off almost instantly. the only thing i don't like is they cut off your ability to use your account online, so i don't know how much i'm going to have to pay, for while i'm here at school i pay my bill online for i don't get my mail for up to a few weeks, until i go home.

Call the 800 number for them and they'll give you a good idea of what the final bill will be, FYI, go over it in detail, they tried to charge me extra, and even the ETF fee and I was out of contract for 4 months, they corrected it and were very nice about it also.

As for how long it takes to port and all that, personally I have experienced times where its 10 minutes to all weekend long or even during the week it could take a couple of days, I would call and verify that the number ported successfully .

Best of Luck and enjoy :D
