    Can anyone tell me what carriers will allow you to keep same phone
    number when changing from a post pay to a prepay account? Specifically
    does VIRGIN MOBILE allow for that if you open a new account and and
    want to cancel a postpay account with another carrier?
    I understand there are Federal and State phone number portability
    regulations requiring that option but most sales people don't want to
    get involved with this.

    Two of my sisters-in-law tried to switch to Sprint postpay from Virgin Mobile
    prepaid. Sprint will not port the numbers. Unlike T-Mo to T-Mo, Virgin to
    Sprint involves two different companies. Not sure if that's part of the
    reason why.

    Actually, I misspoke. One switched to T-Mo postpay from Virgin, the other to
    Nextel.
