I’m considering jumping ship to att for the iphone. Currently I have Verizon. CAN I KEEP MY #? (crucial) Anyone else make the switch recently? +/- ? I’m sure they can answer all this when I go to the store tomorrow, but any info and personal testimonials prior to walking in there… well, would be great. :bigtup: ---

> [@Geehee](#): > > yes. bring your current bill to make things easier. if its not in your name, bring the person whos name it is in. everything is in my name with verizon… as a matter of fact i’ve been out of my contract for the past 3 mo. now trying to decide what I want to do. So… i’m not locked into anything ATM. So what your saying is yes… the number will transfer? ---

> [@Hass](#): > > yea. > you can do anything now. > lol. AWESOME! the number transfer thing is critical. I’d hate to have a new number after so long… what a hassle! I’ve hemmed and hawed for so long now over the droid but I think i’d be happier going the iphone route. We’ll see how happy I am tomorrow after hitting up the att store… ---

I switched from VZW to AT&T a couple of months ago, don’t regret it at all. The only place I haven’t had service so far was inside a fire hall in Springville/Boston area. Otherwise it’s been fine, including a 16 hour drive from Kansas City to Buffalo. I had reception the whole time, usually 3G. For me so far it’s been the same at VZW in that reception has been a non-issue. Actually I get a bit better reception inside the lecture halls at UB with AT&T. With blackberries or Samsung WM phones I wouldn’t get a signal, with my Nokia and AT&T I usually get at least a spotty signal. ---
