My brother just did that with his old phone yesterday. They were kind of dense about it, but it didn't take too long to get it done.If you want to keep your phone number, you don't want to cancel your AT$T service; go to your new carrier and have them port the number over. Once the new carrier starts the porting process, AT$T has, IIRC, up to 28 days to release it to them. Once the process is done, AT$T should stop billing you--at least they did when I transferred my old land line from AT$T to a carrier that doesn't suck--so you can avoid a lot of the hassle that way.</blockquote>
