For lots of reasons, my wife is getting tired of Cellular 1 and is
going to switch over to Verizon. OK so Verizon Wireless told her that
with the new cell phones comes new phone numbers, and i thought that
was strange that you can't keep your existing number, but then again,
I don't know much about it. But a couple friends of mine said that
there was a law passed not long ago that would allow you to keep your
existing phone number regardless of who your new carrier was.

Any fact to this? and/or how do I find out?

Thanks!


Put your current number in this form and see if you can..... although
Verizon markets the fact that you can keep your number, it looks like
there may be exceptions.....


My phone has an 866 number, I doubt that is portable.


If you had tried harder, you might have gotten a 666 number.
