How to change my phone number?

Usually you want to change a carrier and keep your number, I want the opposite. But T-mobile doesn't let you pick a number anymore and doesn't offer any transitionary services!



I want a voice message at the old number for a few weeks, or at least call forwarding. Makes sense, doesn't it? I'd just rather not pay another $50 for two plans just to keep the darn voicemail!How to change my phone number?
Ask your provider, but when you call, ask for a superviser. Some may just work on commission and that's not bringing them any money.How to change my phone number?
Here's the real answer:



Cancel old post-paid number, open a new prepaid plan with old number, and reactivate the post-paid plan with a new number.



Btw: being patient, understanding, pleasant, and knowledgable about T-mobile's customer service procedures (try HowardForums) was highly helpful.

Start with cancellations dept., and explain it all. Verify they put the right notes in ur records. They then transferred me to Prepaid which already knew what to do and pulled the old number. Next day I contacted Activations %26amp; got a new number into a new SIM with my old plan, no new contract. Voila!
