Ooooh, that's always a fun situation. We have a subagent in our area called PCI and it's always a complicated change. It's not quite so easy as a port, and it's all internal. I know it can be worked out, but it's all done the old fashioned way (meaning paper forms and fax machines).

Caleb,

I love those Hawk Electronics customers! I have ported them and sudmitted the form to have them release the number back to Cingular. I guess it works both ways.

I'm in the same mess right now with a local subdealer who does the same thing, but through AT&T (on the TDMA side even!). It was offered through the local Teacher's Credit Union, and I've done several ports from them so far. They are a nightmare to deal with and I'm working on one right now.

To whoever started this thread - good luck to you. It's probably not anything that Cingular is doing that is delaying this. Also, the 'window' that they are allowed to do a port in for cases like this is larger than you would expect. They may still be well withing it if you are dealing with a subdealer or MVNO.

Just as I was reading Elihuspeaks thread I got a call from Cingular to say the technical problem had finally been resolved and that the port is working and to come pick up the phone and sim card. To say that I am happy is just a major understatement. Boy this forum seems to have brought me luck. Thanks.
