How is it done? Do I just call the cell phone company and have them transfer
it, or do I have to contact Pac Bell first?

You'd probably have to contact the cell phone company. Keep in mind that
unlike wireless-wireless transfers, which happen quickly these days -- my
VZW to Sprint transfer would have gone through in 24 hours if Sprint hadn't
had some incorrect billing info on my account, and as it was, the incorrect
info only delayed the transfer for another day -- the landline providers
will do everything they can to delay things. Some people have had to wait
for a month or more to complete a transfer from a landline.

He's in Laguna Niguel (Orange County), California. He's a regular in the
SPCS newsgroup and many of us were probably already aware of that, but
perhaps not in alt.cellular.
