VANITY NUMBERS
anyone know a department I could call or a way to get a vanity number...
I want to get 434-XXX-5674
RMS doesn't let me do vanity as far as I know.

there's gotta be a way to do it though. - With all the systems we have, I am tempted to setup a Go Phone and then port the number.

A while ago on here Jennyboo sold a customer a phone and his new MDN was XXX-A$$-ANAL!!! I laughed my a$$ off! 🤣
...
ok, that is either TOTAL BS, or the most amazing thing i have ever seen.
please tell me you are serious.

Actually, thinking about it, it might have been A$$-ANUS, I forget. It was definitly one of the two though.
...
if you can grab the vanity landline #, sprint can port a landline # over onto a cell, i've done it for a customer b4... it takes like a week 2 switch over tho...
...
goto ratshack, activate a go phone with available number, then port to whoever. cingular allows vanity numbers if available.
...
cs can get vanity nos through p2k but its a pain and can take a while plus you have to get a rep who is willing to help and knows how to do it i probably wouldn't caus it would kill my handle time but sucking up does go a long way with me

Policy & FCC Regulations for assigning an MDN or Vanity MDN
For compliance with FCC regulations, Sprint does not allow manual assignment of MDNs; including the offering of vanity MDNs.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has regulations that govern the management of MDNs and they have imposed certain number management requirements upon all telecommunications providers.
Failure to follow these procedures could impact Sprint's ability to obtain numbers on a timely basis in growth areas.
Manually searching for an MDN may cause Sprint to become non-compliant with the Federal regulation.

if all the other carriers jumped off of a bridge, would you do it too?
do you have any idea how much time would be wasted if we dabbled in vanity #'s?
its a phone#. take what you get and deal with it.

#1 - That analogy nevered worked for me, If all my friends were jumping off a bridge, I would say that looks fun, and you would see me jump.
#2 - how much time? yea very little. Done it for years.
#3 - its a phone#??? You sound like Verizon, its just a UI, its just a phone, think about it, how many businesses have 180094JENNY 800ADELPHIA 800VERIZON 800NEXTEL1 800SPRINT1...SPRINT HAS VANITY NUMBERS FOR THEMSELVES, if its just a number then why doesn't Sprint u...

#1- jumping off a bridge is a bad idea.
#2- heres an example conversation:
CUSTOMER: i want my phone# to be 504-BAD-A$$$.
REP: im sorry, that # is already taken.
CUSTOMER: then i want it to be 504-BAD-MOFO
REP: that # is part of a block of #'s that was already prepurchased by a different carrier.
CUSTOMER: then iwant my phone# to be 504-TOO-COOL.
REP: also, taken......
...sounds like a blast. woo.
#3- those examples are all landline 800-#'s. this is totally possible. happens all the time. i dont believe anyone ever denied that this was possible. however, theres a large difference in the way the FCC views a landline, compared to the way they view a mobile phone.

noone in Sprint Cust Care, Tech Support, Tier-2 Support, or HelpDesk. i know thier systems through & through, and there is no way to create a vanity # from any of them. good luck.
