Hey guys, I just picked up my iPhone today. Apparently my area is covered by the "partner" plan.
At this moment (until I can activate my phone) I have Nextel service. I want to be able to keep my same phone number but the rep from the porting system said that it isn't possible since there are no towers to switch to.
My problem is, the number I was assigned (I bought a regular AT&T phone for my husband too for a share plan) is long distance from my land line home phone.
The store is closed right now, but I thought maybe someone here would have some insight for me.
Does anyone know if it's possible to keep our same numbers and not have our new phones be long distance calls?
TIA for any advice you are willing to share. I wanted to break out my iPhone and get going on it tonight, but I cannot register it
