Tips for phone number porting

Here is a small addendum on the new cell phone experience. When switching cell phone providers you need to take a bill from your current provider when signing up for the new service. This is necessary so you have the old account number available.

Also, if you are switching from Sprint, make sure to change to paper billing if you are on electronic, because you will not be able to log into the Sprint PCS website after your number is ported. This is because the phone number is used to log in and you can't log in to check your bill once the phone number is deactivated in the Sprint system.
