7/20 I want to sign up for a cell phone plan and end my home phone
service. Would my home phone number be transferable to my cell phone?
\_ Theoretically, but I'm nto sure you can transfer it to a prepaid.
Your words 'cell phone plan' suggest you don't mean prepaid, so it
should be possible. I think you start by telling your new cell
phone company you want to port from a landline. DO NOT cancel your
conventional service until it's all complete!
\_ I would never transfer my landline to a cell phone.
\_ Uh, OK, some people want to for obvious reasons.
\_ Is there a way to forward your landline to a cellphone number?
\_ The closest thing I know of is Cingular has a system where if you
are an SBC customer, you can plug your cell into a special
charger cradle at home and your cell calls will ring to your
home phone. Take the phone out of the cradle and your cell
number will ring on your cell phone. If you couple this with a
landline-to-cell port followed by a new landline, that would sort
of give you the same thing.
\_ I know for verizon i just dial *72number and it will do forward,
a very nice feature. Is there similar things for land line? ie,
I am going on vacation and just want to forward everything to
my cellphone... sbc. thx.
\_ sbc has a call forward service, you just need to pay.
\_ Did you check if your home will have good cell phone reception? My
cell phone work poorly in my home. |
