8 January 2004Number, pleaseThe Federal Communications Commission has called AT&T Wireless on the carpet for falling down on number portability; the Death Star, meanwhile, is telling customers that there may be as much as a five-day delay in moving numbers between cell carriers. When it doesn't take six weeks, that is. I now wish the previous owner of my AT&T Wireless phone number could have taken it with him. Have you ever noticed it's easier to explain, "He doesn't have this number anymore, I do" to people who speak English, than not? Posted by: McGehee at 6:03 AM on 9 January 2004 |
