WIRELESS FACTOR: Cell phone number portability still on track for November 24th. Have you ever wanted to change cell carriers, but didn't want the hassle of giving your friends a new number and printing new business cards? Help may be right around the corner.
November 24th is the deadline for cell phone carriers to offer cell phone number portability. The rules were first announced in 1996 for implementation in 1999. Court battles have delayed action. Traditional land line numbers are already portable, and many countries already have cell phone number portability.
WIRED: 7.5 million Americans have given up land lines to use cell phones exclusively.
