Hello,
I do have a question and I need that someone who knows Rogers politics should answer me.
Bell mobility keeps saying that, until march 2007, you are not able to keep your cell number by changing your wireless provider.
But I'm not the only person which have received phones from Rogers agents, or so-called agents with the proposal to keep my number, my plan, by changing into Rogers, in giving a better financial plan.

If this is true, it could be interesting.

Thank you

Here is a little info

On December 20, 2005, the CRTC issued an implementation timetable for wireless number portability. The CRTC directed TELUS, Rogers Communications and Bell Canada to implement full number portability by March 14, 2007, in the provinces of B.C., Alberta, Ontario and Quebec wherever wireline local number portability is currently available. In other areas of the country where wireline number portability is currently available, including the cities of Regina and Saskatoon, TELUS, Rogers and Bell must implement porting-out by March 14, 2007, and porting-in no later than September 12, 2007. All other wireless carriers must implement porting-out where wireline number portability is currently available by the March 14, 2007 date, and porting-in after March 14, but before September 12, 2007.

from a press release by TELUS, see full release at http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/060217/to191.html?.v=21

Does that help clear it up a bit?
