    Well here's a shocking piece of news:

    WLNP problems mount; FCC questions AT&T Wireless
    Just as many analysts predicted (including us), subscribers across the
    country are experiencing difficulties porting their numbers through the new
    FCC wireless portability mandate. It seems the carriers were under-prepared
    for the process. While some users have been able to switch smoothly, others
    have their phone numbers trapped in limbo between carriers. According to
    some, AT&T Wireless has been the worst offender in terms of moving
    subscribers off its network and on to other service providers. The FCC has
    given AT&T Wireless until Wednesday of next week to come up with an adequate
    explanation for its poor WLNP performance. Many speculate that the FCC may
    take action against AT&T Wireless if its explanation is not deemed adequate.

    Given that today's Washington Post says:


    "Many consumers appear bewildered and unsure whom to blame. Chris and
    Kathy Brady, an Arlington couple who have been trying to switch their
    phones from AT&T to Verizon Wireless for 11 days, are at odds about
    what's really happening.

    "Verizon can't get the job done," said Kathy Brady.

    "No, it's AT&T's problem," said her husband.

    Initially, Chris Brady was told there was a software problem. Five days
    later, Verizon Wireless told Brady the order was missing his middle
    initial, L., and the last four digits of his Zip code, 22204-1663. Later
    the same day, an AT&T representative told him his order couldn't be
    processed because his $253 check for his previous bill hadn't cleared."


    That is a clear Violation of FCC Guidelines which say Port first,
    collect any monies owed later.

    When are you going to port your phone out of here Phillip? Steven? Patrick
    Bosley? Whatever. Please, go to AT&T and leave Sprint PCS alone.

    Sorry, a long history with this guy in alt.cellular.sprintpcs. I did not
    notice that he (and therefore I) crossposted.

    Oh, "James" is a guy who trolls the Sprint newsgroup trying to drive
    everyone away from Sprint. That was why Sprint was mentioned. He's recently
    started showing up in the other newsgroups.

    Those of us who are in a.c.spcs have noted almost 40 screenname/id changes
    in the few months since he started his little game.

    Thats what happens when you Outsource computer work.

    ATTWS billing is so bad, is why they now require automatic debiting of
    your credit card.

    What are you talking about? There is no requirement of auto bill
    pay. And i love ignorant blanket statements about things like.... oh
    lets say billing. 9 times out of 10 its something the customer used
    but does not want to pay for, but lets just say for fun that you had
    an actual problem. That doesent mean all 20 million customers are
    having problems, and they dont require auto bill pay. Just like you
    made that up,you are also probably "creating" the problem you had with
    your bill.

    WRONG: Here it is verbatim from the web site:

    Remember, to maintain the benefits and pricing of our exclusive online
    deals, after you receive you phone, you will need to do the following at
    the AT&T Wireless online service center (www.attwireless.com/ocs):

    * Register for online customer service
    * Establish a recurring billing relationship
    * Sign up for paperless billing (after you receive your first paper
    bill)

    Ah, Phillipe/matthew/stewart... manipulating facts again?

    That says specifically "to maintain the benefits and pricing of our exclusive
    online deals". Has anyone been forced to pay with a credit card when
    activating at a store?

    will listen to you. Why yet another change? Can you example to all these

    What does a store have to do with it? The statement was made that the
    provider *NEVER* requires a recurring billing relationship. The statement
    wasn't that *ONLY* stores don't require them.
