Has anyone had any good or bad experiences with number porting (changing your cell number to a new carrier)? I recently ported my cell phone number from Verizon to Nextel, and the reliability of my phone went from 99.9% to less than 50%. After many hours of discussions with Nextel tech support, it seems that routing problems are not terribly uncommon when a number is ported.
The problems I experienced after the number port were calls going directly to voicemail without ringing the phone and lost or seriously delayed text messages. Apparently, the routing for a ported number is fairly complex, similar to DNS routing on the internet. If any particular carrier doesn't have the updated routing information, calls and text messages end up in digital hell. Any thoughts or experiences? _________________________________________________ "When a defining moment comes along, you can do one of two things.
