(An angstrom is one ten-billionth of a meter, the approximate diameter of a single atom.) ORNL researcher Stephen Pennycook:

Number Portability Finally Getting

Well, it only took half a year, but the FCC is now reporting that wireless number portability appears to be moving along smoothly. Of course, all hell might break loose again when the rest of the country (that is, anywhere that is not one of the top 100 metropolitan regions) starts offering number portability next month - but hopefully the carriers have learned their lesson. There are still some problems with portability, so don't be completely surprised it things don't work the way they're supposed to. However, if you really want to switch, there's not much reason to wait any more.

Amazon helps with number portability

Amazon helps with number portability 05/03/2004 03:07 PM
Amazon's phone-sales business unit has added a HOWTO on number-portability, and a service to help you keep your number when you change mobile carriers.

Transferring your cell phone number is easy when you order from Amazon.com. You won't have to wait in line at a store while your number is transferred from your previous carrier to your new one. And, in some cases, you will be assigned a temporary phone number for your new phone so that you can use it until your transfer is completed (you can even forward your calls from your current phone to your new phone in the interim). Best of all, when you buy a cell phone from Amazon.com and transfer your number, you will still qualify for all of our great rebates and discounts.

Local Number Portability Glitches Still
There 01/22/2004 02:06 PM
Now that nearly two months has passed since wireless local number portability went into effect in the US, it turns out that carri ers are still having problems porting numbers in a timely fashion. There are eve a few cases where people who signed up back in November still don't have their numbers ported. The problems are being worked out, though, and are much less likely to occur these days. However, it is still taking a few days to port the number in most cases - which is way more than the 2.5 hours the FCC had told carriers it should take. For the time being, it looks like the FCC isn't taking the carriers to task for missing that mark. It's also interesting to note that all of the carriers report that portability has not been nearly as big an issue as they expected, with many fewer subscribers moving than were predicted. Of course, some might point out that the carriers who had the most to lose from number portability had every incentive in the world not to make the process very smooth - and to make sure everyone knew that it wasn't going to be smooth.

FCC Swamped By Number Portability
Complaints 01/29/2004 03:49 AM
By this point, it's pretty well known that wireless number portability didn't go so smoothly over the past couple of months. However, now the FCC has admitted the extent of the problems, saying that they've recei ved 4,750 complaints concerning number portability. Considering the total number of switchers, that's really not a huge percentage - but it still doesn't speak well to the efforts the wireless carriers put into the process. The FCC is now looking to see if any regulations were broken. Considering that many carriers were clearly dragging their feet on getting ready for this (partly as a ploy to ask for more delays), it seems likely that the FCC will fine a few carriers for screwing around when they should have been preparing (as we expected back in May). It still seems like a strategically backwards move not to have embraced something that customers clearly wanted - and which was clearly going to come sooner or later.

Despite having fought tooth and nail to prevent the imposition of number portability, that hasn't prevented the cellphone carriers from exploiting the FCC's new rules by using them as an excuse to rip off customers with all sorts of fees and charges. I just noticed noticed the charges on my cellphone bill the other day, and when I called up customer service to ask what they were for, the rep actually had the gall to say that the fees had been "mandated" by the FCC, which is patently untrue. These aren't taxes and they're not fees that subscribers agreed to when they signed up for service, and it's unfair to charge extra for the "privilege" being able to take your number with you should you ever decide to switch carriers. Not everyone's doing it, but Om Malik has noticed that the carriers who are collecting these surcharges have been raking...

More Doom & Gloom Predictions For Number

It seems like November 24th, 2003 is increasingly taking on a Y2K feel, as story after story after story is talking about how much of a mess it's going to be when people first try to switch their mobile phone numbers. It's tough to tell how much of these stories are carrier propaganda, from those who are trying to scare people away from switching, and how much is legitimate. Even if the fear is legitimate, it's still possible that many of the problems aren't necessary, but are caused by certain carriers who are purposely making the process annoying, in order to scare away people from switching. No matter what, everyone's gearing up for November 24th. Large call centers are being trained to deal with number portability issues, and basically no one has any idea (a) how many people are actually going to switch on that first day or (b) how well the process will work? At least no one is heading off for reinforced bunkers in the mountains.

This just never ends... While most of the major wireless carriers have given up trying to stop wireless local number portability (and in the case of Verizon Wireless, publicly embraced number portability), it appears that some of the smaller carriers are now making their last minute desperation play to stop it. A group representing smaller rural carriers has given the FCC an ultimatum, saying that if they don't stop number portability by tomorrow, they'll go to court to get portability delayed. They claim that number portability leads to an unfair competitive situation where the bigger carriers can stomp on the smaller ones. The FCC's response? Nope. Number portability is going into effect Monday no matter how much carriers of all sizes complain about it.
