time warner ->. tmobile
i am running an experiment. i realized i barely ever use my home phone number anymore - that's right, i still have a land line. i've had this number for a long, long time, and i would rather not give it up, though. so, i am trying to transfer it to another carrier. this is sort of common between cell phone carriers but not for land lines. the carriers don't volunteer this info, but you can actually transfer any line from anywhere to anywhere, it doesn't matter, from mobile to land, from land to mobile, from mobile to mobile, etc.
despite that, when i called t-mobile today and told them i wanted to move my time warner land line to a pre-paid t-mobile phone, the reps were puzzled. they bounced me around a few departments till i got in touch of level 2 tech support and the guy had no problem completing my request. the transfer is now in, it's up to time warner to let it go thru, and they should. once that happens, they said typically takes a day or two, i should have my 212 number on my cell.
the next step in this saga will be parking the number on google voice, that would be cool. but let's take it one step at a time for now.
