Leaving Sprint

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.sprintpcs (More info?)

I called Verizon and signed up with them today and they will handle porting
my cell number from Sprint to Verizon. My question is do I have to call
Sprint-after the number porting is done-and tell them that I quit or will
the number porting itself do it? I am on a month to month basis after
finishing two one year contracts.

I went the other way and when the port was complete, Verizon closed out my
account automatically. Should work the same way no matter which carrier you are
porting from and which you are porting to. Do make sure to keep your Sprint
account open during the porting process or the port will fail, and it's not
likely you'll be able to get your phone number back.

The porting process takes care of cancelling the Sprint Account.

Sorry to hear "we" lost you.
