The number portability scam

October 30th, 2003 · No Comments

Some time ago I mentioned that wireless phone companies have been charging customers in advance for number portability. Here’s some documentation. The companies have already taken in $629 million to pay for number portability, even as they fight it tooth and nail. It looks like number portability is inevitable at this point, but if these companies had succeeded in thwarting it, do you think that we’d have gotten our money back?
