This FAQ is in no way authored by Sprint Spectrum, Sprint or Sprint PCS.
By reading on, you agree that you are fully aware of this. I see many
questions asked repeatedly about problems with carriers, and thought an
*PORTABILTY* LIST could prove helpful.
People sometimes have problems with Sprint, and this News group may
sometimes be a bad place to seek answers. Apologists might make like
it's the victims fault, or insult those who criticize Sprint PCS or
those who offer solutions to victims of service problems. Sometimes the
problems reach a point where one has decided to leave SprintPCS. If so,
this LIST is for you. 1,400,000 people left SprintPCS the first Quarter
of this year.
I have no association (i.e. never been employed or received any
remuneration) with SprintPCS and there is a greater than zero chance
there may be errors herein. I believe everything to be correct, but use
the information at your own risk. This FAQ comes not from SprintPCS, so
it is unofficial, but apparently has useful information some SprintPCS
apologists are upset about being made public, but I know there are folks
who want to leave SprintPCS and are waiting for their opportunity.
Portability started November 24, 2003 in the top 100 markets. On May 24,
2004 its available everywhere else. Portability allows you to keep your
phone number when you change carriers.
Each carrier has its own site explaining portability in terms of
Switching to itself. If you are considering switching to any of the
carriers listed below, use the associated web link.
Just remember, the evil you know may be easier to deal with than the
evil you don't know.

Verizon http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/lnp
The F.C.C. says this should happen in 3 1/2 hours. If switching from
Sprint PCS takes more than a week you might want to call Sprint¹s
Director of Portability Scott Lane, whose number can be found using a
Google Search of alt.cellular.sprintpcs
