Starting yesterday you can keep your cell number when you change plans.
At least, in some metropolitan areas. The rest follow on May 24th. Unfortunately, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,61184,00.html?tw=wn_polihead_… article on Wired News </a>doesn't say which areas start getting this option today. Still, it's nice to know. I know that I have hesitated to change plans because of the hassle of getting my new number to everyone. I mean, I have a <i>lot</i> of people who contact me via my cell phone. Not least of which is my wife and recruiters!
I wonder how long it will take before we're assigned phone numbers at birth, like Social Security numbers...
(Oh, and yeah, I posted this at <a target="_blank" href="http://www.ryumaou.com/hoffman/netgeek/">my other blog </a>yesterday.)
