Anyone else had this problem when porting from Sprint to ATT? I now have an
ATT phone and I can make calls to everyone and receive calls from everyone
BUT SprintPCS customers. The message I get is that "the PCS number you
dialed is no longer in service..." Both are finger pointing. Anyone had
this problem and worked out a resolution? The last thing I want to do is
get rid of my number and replace it.

Thanks.

Tony

Just keep calling and asking for escalation. You did give AT&TWS a copy
of your last SprintPCS bill? A small error in your address can mess
things up

The man in charge of Porting at SprintPCS is:

Scott Lane 913-762-7449


at AT&T try contacting:

matt.pruzan@attws.com A Supervisor in their Executive Services

and in any case file a complaint with the FCC

The Sprint PCS number IS no longer in service. It was stolen by you and ported
to AT&T.

This indicates a problem in the porting process and is both companies fault.
They need to work together to get the switches routing fixed so that not only
the rest of the world but SPring PCS customers are routed correctly to you
using the stolen number.

Unfortunately, when it comes to porting, both companies point the
finger at each other.

The FCC set up this regulation stating everyone had to do it, but then
also said "We don't care how you do it, just do it" so there is no
enforcement on HOW the numbers get ported. No 3rd party to monitor
them (which would have made porting a lot smoother) etc..

This is just a thought - most telcom recording have a tag line at the
end of the recording which can be used to identifly the carrier. It
would be my guess that since it is SPCS callers that are getting the
recording you described, then it would be SPCS that may not have
updated its routing to reflect the port out.

telcos are BIG boys, they dont need someone else monitoring them
