Sorry if this has been asked before, but I previously lost my pre-paid cingular phone, and since I want to sign-up for a contract service with AT&T, they won't let me keep my old number.

The other option that I would prefer is to pick my own number (like a vanity number except with a local area code, not 800). I dialed that number and it is not in service, which should indicate that its up for grabs. The Service provider is not important if I get this number.

Is there anyway for me to pick my own number?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

You can ask what is available.

You won't get to choose from much.

(So, don't plan on getting a specific #.)
