Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Cingular / April 2005Cingular says no more 773 numbers, any ideas?
I live and work in the 773 area code but have been given a 312 area code for my new RAZR. Any ideas how to shake loose a 773 number from Cingular if they say none are available? Thanks Eric All you can do is check back with them periodically. There maybe a fee to change the number later. >I live and work in the 773 area code but have been given a 312 area code >for [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Thanks > Eric > I live and work in the 773 area code but have been given a 312 area code for > my new RAZR.

Same issue here in the 757 area. Bought a phone and 2 year contract only to find that everyone trying to call me would get a "must dial a 1 or 0 , please hang up and try again....". Cingular did not seem to be to concerned when I called complaining that my friends/relatives were being charged long-distance to call me. "Nothing we can do" I was told, "we do not have enough numbers for the area yet". Seems to me they should be fined just as an airline that knowingly over-books a flight! >>>I live and work in the 773 area code but have been given a 312 area code >>>for [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > Seems to me they should be fined just as an airline that knowingly > over-books a flight! Oh, okay, long distance calling would be an issue for most anyone, but the original poster didn't mention a long distance problem. Maybe we're already accustomed to having four different area codes available within our local calling scope. 214, 817, 469, 904 are a mix of local and long distance calling schemes, and occasionally someone (usually an out-of-towner) gets that recording, but it's not an issue that comes up often. Then again, geographically speaking, 40K sq. miles of local calling area on Cingular is probably unheard of in other places.

Is there only 40 THOUSAND square miles in the United States (including Alaska and Hawaii)????? Seems that on my plan(s) ALL of the United States is a local calling area. IF you don't have this you probably need to update your plan! I think he is referring to people calling his wireless phone from a land line phone. > I think he is referring to people calling his wireless phone from a > land line phone. A gold star for you, sir. Jack is referring to free long distance calling feature on a service plan, which is good, no doubt. I'm talking local calling from any phone to any phone regardless of what plan one has, whether it's a wireless or wireline. As I said, there are four different area codes used within the local calling scope here - no plan features are necessary. Signaturejer email reply - I am not a 'ten' > I think he is referring to people calling his wireless phone from a land > line phone. :-) Probably, but he needs to say what he means whatdayathink. I think he did. >I live and work in the 773 area code but have been given a 312 area code >for > my new RAZR. Any ideas how to shake loose a 773 number from Cingular if > they say none are available? What part of "None available" don't you understand??? Seems REALLY REALLY clear to me! >>I live and work in the 773 area code but have been given a 312 area code >>for [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > What part of "None available" don't you understand??? > Seems REALLY REALLY clear to me! No, it's not that "none are available." 773 numbers are out there, they just need to be secured from NANPA and it would seem that Cingular is content withdraggin their feet and running out of numbers before they ask for more. Other carriers seem able to keep pace and have a supply of numbers on hand... why not Cingular? SignatureE-mail fudged to thwart spammers. Transpose the c's and a's in my e-mail address to reply. > No, it's not that "none are available." 773 numbers are out there, they > just need to be secured from NANPA and it would seem that Cingular is > content withdraggin their feet and running out of numbers before they > ask for more.

Cingular must have more business than the "other" carriers. > I live and work in the 773 area code but have been given a 312 area code for > my new RAZR.
