Porting number from the 450 area

Post by onirike »

Hi,

I called today to have my number ported and I was told that FPL is not supporting numbers that are in the 450 area (my area obviously).

Can I expect that you will be able to port number from that area in a near futur? I am stuck right now in either just not use your service extensively or completely change my phone number to go with the number you assigned me. While changing phone number is not the end of the world, it does is annoying.

Let me know if you see any option for me to port my 450 number.

Thanks!

Hi onrike,

although at the moment we are not able to port over numbers in the 450 area, it is certainly something we are working on. I am sorry that at this moment in time i am unable to give you an exact time frame though.

Hi Mike,

Thanks a lot for your answer. I understand you can't provide an exact time frame. However, are we talking of weeks, months or years here?

I could wait a couple of months for sure before having my 450 number ported. However, waiting for years is a bit too long! :-)

Thanks a lot!

I really wish i could say. At the moment though, i am unable to get a time frame (even for myself) in regards to when it will be happening.
