(This creates a whole new realm of difficulty – but nothing we canNOT overcome!)
Most U.S. cell phone users can now switch to a new wireless service without losing their telephone number under a long-awaited new regulation that has carriers bracing for lost customers and technical snafus.
The new federal regulations are expected to set off a scramble as customers line up to shop for the best cell phone deals. They no longer face the hassle of changing their telephone number every time they change carriers. Also beginning Monday, consumers can even move their home landline phone number to a cellular phone!
We’re seeing some survey data that suggests some 21 percent of the population with cell phones may be interested in doing this!
