Number Porting in Germany

How easy is it to port numbers in Germany? My Dad lives in Germany and has a German T-Mobile prepaid that he is spending way too much money on. I keep suggesting he switches over to one of the cheaper MVNO's, but he would like to keep his number. Are there any restrictions on number porting with prepaids? How long does it take on average? I can't even figure out which of the MVNO's is best value at the moment. He does not need data. Just decent international SMS rates and domestic calls. The new Fonic looks very good. What do you German guys think about reliability? This is so important to him as he uses it for work too. A few years ago I suggested he go for EasyMobile, but it's a good thing he didn't follow my advice now.

He may after all need a contract, but he spends on average 3 to 4 months away from Germany in the year, so he would only go for one if it is a low monthly payment. Any advice on where I can find comparisons and good deals?
