WIRELESS NUMBER PORTABILITY IS NOW HERE!
Prior to November 24, 2003, if you owned a cell phone, you were stuck. Switching wireless phone carriers not only meant buying a new phone, but also meant giving up your phone number. But now, under a new federal regulation effective November 24th, wireless phone customers who live in the 100 most populated areas are able to take their phone number with them, subject to some limitations, when changing carriers. The rest of the country will be eligible by May 24, 2004.

PhoneCallWorld.com supports cellular portability through our online wireless store. Customers in an eligible service area can simply go to our online wireless store to place a number portability order or to access a Number Portability Tool that enables users to evaluate personal savings while comparing plans from seven major carriers along with network quality ratings provided from JD Power and Associates.
