Finally! You can keep your cell phone numbers even if you switch carriers.

It was one of users’ biggest complaints about switching their cell phone carriers – they had to change their cell phone numbers, which was always nothing less than a great big hassle.  But finally the FCC has allowed wireless number portability when switching carriers.  (That’s just a fancy way of saying you can keep your beloved phone numbers no matter which provider you’re with.)  This decision has really freed up our lives in a variety of ways.  Now, when you get new carriers and new phones, you don’t have to worry about alerting all your friends, family, co-workers, clientele and that old high school buddy you talk to every 3 years about your new number. 

So what does this mean for us at Cell-Phone-Plans.net?

Well, it means that as you look for discounted and free cell phones on our site, you have less to worry about.  You can change your phone and your service provider but – thanks to the FCC and wireless number portability – you don’t have to change your cell phone numbers.  So you can keep 212-HOT-STUFF or 323-IM-SMART for as long as you want.  Because in the end, aren’t we most interested in the kind of phones and providers we can get?  Not what new number we can get that will give us a headache?

Of course we’re more interested in the cell phones.  That’s where all the cool stuff is!

And at Cell-Phone-Plans.net, you can choose from over 500 phones from the top manufacturers and service providers.  And AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless, Sprint and Alltel will all let you keep the cell phone numbers that you currently have.  So go ahead and switch to a Motorola, Blackberry, Palm, Samsung, Sanyo, LG or some other phone that really meets all of your needs.  Make sure you get the features and functions you need like email, MP3 player, voice activated dialing, web browser and fun ring tones.  Then decide what carrier to go with. 

Now that the FCC has embraced wireless number portability, you’ve got less to worry about.  You can really search for the device that meets your needs and the service that you want without losing the number you’ve had for so long.  We know it’s hard to say goodbye to such familiar numbers – and now you don’t have to.  So go ahead and get started at our comparison tool.
