I remember reading a while back that regulations were going to change so that you could keep your cell number even if you changed providers...anyone heard this or know anything about it?

Far as I know, it's not been effective yet. So if you wanna keep your number, right now you are still stuck with your current service provider. Sorry!

Texannie: This Article dated today on Gomemphis.com says it should be in effect on November 24, 2003 however, This Article dated September 4, 2003 says there could be another delay to the plan.

You can find more information by searching on Google with the keywords Wireless Number Portability.

Hope this helps.
