Porting out from Nextel?

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

Has anyone had experience in porting from Nextel? I just had another problem
with my BB7510 where the screen went blank execept for smudges. Clearly
somehow the screen got damaged but I have no idea how. I'm still under
contract but I'm getting sick of spending $35 everytime the thing needs
repair, which looks like frequently. ABout three months ago after having the
phone for a whole four weeks the DC button stopped working so I had to spend
$35 to get that fixed, now this. So I'm thinking of going back to SPrint
where I was a happy customer for three years. What I want to know is since
I'm under contract will Nextel hold the number and stop the port over to
Sprint or will it be as fast as moving from Sprint to Nextel? I know I'll
have to pay for early terimation but the way I figure it, $200 now beats
spending $120 a month for eight more months.

I think you'll find you signed up for it even if you didn't.

if you don't have the portability password issue, it takes less than
five minutes to port over the number to another carrier. I just
ported out three phones to Verizon Monday night and the longest one
took 7 minutes.
