Can I dial emergency numbers, such as 911, during the Wireless Local Number Portability process?
Nextel is striving to ensure that 911 calls are minimally impacted by the WLNP process. However, while 911 calls can be made during the process- subject to the typical limitations of any wireless 911 call- the public safety dispatch center may not receive an accurate telephone number from your handset, should they need to call you back. Therefore, if you need to make an emergency call during the WLNP process, immediately inform the emergency operator of your exact location and your emergency. • If the transfer takes more than one day, will I still be responsible for paying my current provider for services? Yes. You will be responsible for paying all applicable fees to your current provider until the WLNP process has been completed. Additionally, if you are subject to a subscriber agreement, you may be obligated to pay early termination fees to your current provider. • I am moving out of the area. Can I take my phone number with me? If you are moving outside of the local geographic area
