Hey genius...stupider is not a word
AT&T Wireless
The process is supposed to take 4-24 hours. AT&T Wireless is taking up to a week. Bad boys. I hope they are severely punished.

heeey slow down there cowboy... wait until AT&T Wireless responds... there IS a reason for the backlog, and it isn't probably completely AT&T Wireless's fault. 🙂

RE Sprint / Cingular
I started my portability on day 1, Nov 24 2pm at the sprint store. I was on SWBell/Cingular -analog-. You know before digital. I've had this number since 1986 when a IMTS phone in the car was $6400.00, via Motorola. I loved my MOTO Vader, but it was time to change.
I've had the sprint since Aug. so.. go in the store 11/24. they say it will take 2-3 days, now 10 days later, I get a call from Sprint and they say SWB/Cin has issues. We again get the --success-- but she says it will take another 10 days or so to -see if it will work--.
I will keep u posted,,but this portability thing S..KS.

I started my transfer from Cingular to T-Mobile on 11/28. As of today, T-Mobile states they're getting a system error when submitting my number to be ported from Cingular!!! No idea what the error is, god knows how long this will take!...
