Hello,
Is it possible, assuming you have an acct with cingular, to open a new
second acct and move the number from acct A to acct B or does it have to
come from a different carrier? I would like to do this because of a mistake
I made in buying from a retail outlet instead online where I had more free
phone options. I want a Motorola 220 which is available online for free but
the retail outlet (cingular store) will only give me a Sony 237 which I hate
now that I've had it for a day. I don't want to lose my number since I've
had it for years and it's on my business cards.
Thanks

Re: move number between accts within Cingular
Your best bet is to simply call them, the customer service
representatives usually do not hang out on alt.cellular.cingular =]

1. Return the Sony 237 within 30 days, but don't cancel the account.
2. Order a new Motorola 220 online.

Re: move number between accts within Cingular
Hello John,
Won't this require full payment for the phone?
In response to Marius' post - I did call the customer service people and
they told me to give the Sony as a gift and buy a new phone. Somehow I
don't see this as an equitable resolution to the situation.

Re: move number between accts within Cingular
It shouldn't require full payment, since you're entitled to a subsidy ($100
off on a 2-year contract) that you haven't received. (I've done this myself,
albeit in a store rather than online.)

Re: move number between accts within Cingular
Thanks John and everyone else. I'll pursue this some more and see what
happens.
