[asterisk-users] Number forwarding and porting?

[Carlos Alperin]

This is obvious (However not an Asterisk question):
 
You need to ask your old cell provider to port the number to the new one.
Also, in the meantime you need to ask to forward the number to your new
number.
 
However, since there is nothing forced to him to do that, this is going to
happen if your old provider is willing to do that. There are a lot of
provider that can make your life 
miserable when it start something like this moves. They not only hate to
loose you as a customer, they also hate to loose their numbers ( This is
because they believe that the did belongs to 
them and not to the customer that pays for it).
 
Good Luck,

Subject: [asterisk-users] Number forwarding and porting?


All:
 
(This time with a subject line!)
 
I am looking to move cell phone providers.  I have acquired the new cell
phone and LOVE my new number but want to keep the old number as well.  The
new provider only will allow me to use one number or the other.  They will
port the old number if I want, but will keep my new number if I ask them to
port the old one.
 
Where can I go to get the old number ported from my old provider (the
account is still active) and have it forwarded on to my new number (for
cheap)?
 
Sincerely,
