Can't get an iPhone?
I'm giving up and getting an iPhone. Well, trying to, anyway. I was halfway through my order when I punched in my current phone number and got a notice that it was ineligible for transfer. I did a live chat with an agent:
Rene: Does your number belong to a different state than the one you are in?
Avi: yes
Avi: why would that matter?
Rene: That matters because there is a Federal Law by the FCC that prevents the transfer of numbers from state to state.
Seriously? I can't take my number with me because I live in a different state?
Rene: You would have to get a new number. Would that be alright with you?
Avi: Ugh
Avi: no, I've had that # for nine years
Rene: I am sorry about that.
Rene: What would you like to do?
Rene: Sometimes change is good.
Sometimes change is good?! I'm already starting to dread working with AT&T...
