Yeah, Sophia--you just go in after your contract is up (might want to call and double check on that) and buy the phone and they should ask if you want to port the number. It used to take a couple days and now it only takes a couple hours. And they'll cancel your other service.
Joyce: You don't think it's too obvious? I think I look like I have a cat on my head. Buffy: But a very well groomed cat. Joyce: Well that's a comfort.

When I switched from Verizon to AT&T, my new phone was working about 10 minutes after I left the store. It was wicked fast.

Our wings are not tired.
Sophia, in the meantime, you can use any T-mobile phone (used is fine, get one on Craigslist) to ride out the rest of your contract. You can probably find a cheapo for $10 and just go into T-mobile and tell them you need a replacement SIM.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Thank you all! I am hampered by trying to do everything on-line (the last time I lost my phone, the store would neither give me a SIM card or SELL me a phone, they told me I needed to do it online, since I started online)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
So Apple is going to give a free case to iPhone 4 users.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
That's what the press conference was all about? Lame.

Yawn.
I'm beginning to believe in the "bad batch" theory, btw, due to the fact that I've tried every which way I can to make my phone drop bars, and I can't do it. So I think I got lucky when my pre-order didn't go through.

I think it works for us because we're in NYC. In New York, AT&T uses 850MHz for 3G. In other cities AT&T uses 1900MHz, which would tend to perform worse.

Huh - interesting! Either way, I'm keeping it.
