Porting Question

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.verizon (More info?)

I am looking to port to Verizon from Cingular. I read a post on this board
where someone ported and now has to dial the area code & number with every call
they make. Is that normal with porting or did this person have a problem of
their own. Thanks

10-Digit dialing is normal for most metropolitan areas in the USA, porting
or not. Where do you live?

Michigan and with Cingular I only have to dial numbers. Also my friends on
Verizon only have to dial 7 numbers for local calls. I wonderered if porting
would change that

Some cities are so "full of numbers" that they have gone to 10 digit
dialing. Most are still using 7 digit dialing. Porting will have nothing
to do with how many digits someone dials to get to you, it will be dependent
if you are in a city that requires 10 digit dialing because of capacity, or
if that person is calling you long distance, or if that person has a
provider that requires 10 digit dialing (some carriers). It is not a
benefit/feature of porting.

As advice: if you store a phone number in your phone, it is to your
advantage to use 10 digit numbers. But porting is not a factor in how many
digits you will have to dial.
