I live and work in the 773 area code but have been given a 312 area code for
my new RAZR. Any ideas how to shake loose a 773 number from Cingular if
they say none are available?
Thanks

Re: Cingular says no more 773 numbers, any ideas?
All you can do is check back with them periodically. There maybe a fee to
change the number later.

number.

Same issue here in the 757 area.
Bought a phone and 2 year contract only to find that everyone trying to call
me would get a "must dial a 1 or 0 , please hang up and try again....".
Cingular did not seem to be to concerned when I called complaining that my
friends/relatives were being charged long-distance to call me. "Nothing we
can do" I was told, "we do not have enough numbers for the area yet".
Seems to me they should be fined just as an airline that knowingly
over-books a flight!

Oh, okay, long distance calling would be an issue for most anyone, but
the original poster didn't mention a long distance problem. Maybe we're
already accustomed to having four different area codes available within
our local calling scope. 214, 817, 469, 904 are a mix of local and long
distance calling schemes, and occasionally someone (usually an
out-of-towner) gets that recording, but it's not an issue that comes up
often. Then again, geographically speaking, 40K sq. miles of local
calling area on Cingular is probably unheard of in other places.

What part of "None available" don't you understand???
Seems REALLY REALLY clear to me!

Is there only 40 THOUSAND square miles in the United States (including
Alaska and Hawaii)?????
Seems that on my plan(s) ALL of the United States is a local calling area.
IF you don't have this you probably need to update your plan!

I think he is referring to people calling his wireless phone from a
land line phone.

A gold star for you, sir. Jack is referring to free long distance
calling feature on a service plan, which is good, no doubt. I'm talking
local calling from any phone to any phone regardless of what plan one
has, whether it's a wireless or wireline. As I said, there are four
different area codes used within the local calling scope here - no plan
features are necessary.

No, it's not that "none are available." 773 numbers are out there, they
just need to be secured from NANPA and it would seem that Cingular is
content withdraggin their feet and running out of numbers before they
ask for more. Other carriers seem able to keep pace and have a supply
of numbers on hand... why not Cingular?

Cingular must have more business than the "other" carriers.

I Just pulled up a bunch on a dummy number change. Don't know why there's a
problem.
