Lessons Everywhere

I have decided after spending the last 3 days trying to get my old cell # transferred to a new phone (with new carrier) and on and off with both companies... each continuing to pass the buck--that this seems just like everything else. It takes me 85 times and 85 lessons along the way. (God does have a sense of humor as he is well aware by now my patience is very slim... yet here I am again)Each time I am told things are proceeding. I call 12 hrs or so later , learn this was not the correct info.  Proceed again. Learn next time the other company had the wrong info initially. Corrected. Next call to the other co and they say it was not submitted under the correct acct #. (May have been nice had they mentioned that before?) That is why they did not turn over my #. 


Last time I was told it all did go through and is processing . We will see as I was again told it would be final in another 2 - 24 hrs . That was 8 hrs ago.

Transferring numbers is a major pain. One carrier has to release it the other has to accept it

It's fun when people from other countries buy up blocks if US numbers and constantly call your land line at certain moments and bother the piss out of you. Fun stuff ...

Well--- what started out as 2 -24 hours has officially become 98 hrs! Yep... past 4 days to deactivate and reassign my original cell number. My patience is wearing so very thin. (what little I have. ) Good news is I am getting past the sulking and tears. Now as things continue I am getting so incredibly annoyed and angry and would just love someone to slap upside their fucking heads. Maybe both cell companies eh???
