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.

Well... maybe more asinine in your case.

HA! I got the new phone which is smaller than my older one but has a
lot more features. Still a flip-phone though. Now I have to switch
over a bunch of numbers. And unfortunately, I couldnt' keep my old
existing number, because cellular 1 was a local company and I had a
local number. Verizon doesn't have a local office so i was issued a
new number. so got boned there, but otherswise.....

Now I wonder how long this one will hold up?

How long the phone holds up depends upon how much you abuse it.
My wife has an LG flip phone she uses a lot, and she usually gets two
years out of them before she gets a new one.

On the other hand, I have an old buddy with an equilibrium problem that
I suspect is caused by single malt. At least once and usually twice a
summer, he manages to fall off the dock into the drink and he always has
his cell phone with him. So, he gets at least one new phone a year.

If you are talking about switching over phone numbers stored in your old
phone, Verizon should be able to do that at no cost at one of its
offices. There also is an on-line Verizon stored phone numbers manager
application which lets you type the numbers you want to safe on your
computer, load them up to the app on line and it will download them to
your cell phone. I am sure most of the larger providers have an
identical service.

I use gmail to type in, store, and download my cell phone numbers. I
like it better than the verizon app that does pretty much the same thing.

man, my new phone got a workout today. I'm kinda getting the hang
(sort of) to texting. even for a common key pad. it keeps my eyes
open. But getting tot he 'contact' page is kind of a pain. I have to
run though about 4 different hoops to get there. Eh, I know I'll find
a short cut. But on the good side, I've already taken a couple
pictures of my foot.
