Does Verizon provide the service of a message to callers that one's
(sprint) cell # has changed ?

In other words, if someone has lived in Florida for years, then
switches to Verizon. But keeps her previous cell phone number from
T-Mobile.

Then relocates to California a few months later wishes to change over
to a Los Angeles area code number.

Would or does Verizon have any kind of a recording which tells
callers, for say a month or so, that the phone number has changed and
tell them the new phone number ?

Thanks,
J.B.

Neither Sprint nor Verizon has such a service, as far as I know. My assumption
stems from the fact that I had accounts with both carriers last year when
I moved from Ohio to California and a service like this was never offered
to me.

Thanks,


My question is whether Verizon does or will offer a message, as does
one's local land line company, simply informing callers to the
"former/old" phone number and tell them what the new number is.

Just that simple.

Does Verizon provide that simple utility ?

Thanks

And his answer was just that simple: no.
