It s a Smart Phone World Like most of us, you probably own and extensively use a smart phone. It is the access point that manages your calls, texts, email, business and social world. You take it everywhere you go. It holds your contacts, appointments, photos and has that addicting bird flap game. And it's not cheap. And it s probably not the only smart phone in your home. So why are you still paying for that unused home landline? Or that expensive business line? Why double-up and pay for another phone service when you have all you need right there in your hand? BE NUMBER SMART You are in Control of Your Phone Number Most consumers don t know that the phone company doesn t own your phone number. You OWN it. That s right. It s yours to keep. Under the FCC's "local number portability" (LNP) rules, you are legally able to keep your phone number when you move or change phone companies. You've had that number for years. It s easy to remember and it flows off your tongue. Why give it up when circumstances change? The law allows you to transfer it to another phone service. This process is known as porting or Local Number Portability (LNP). That includes your old home phone, pre-paid cell phone, old business line or cell service. Local Number Portability: You are legally able to keep your phone number when you move or change phone companies.!1
