My Verizon contract was up last week, so I transferred my phone from Verizon ($81/month) to Straight Talk ($47/month.) I made sure to call from the land line and do the process with a real person so I did not lose my number.  Of course they  dropped my number! Mark, the original guy I spoke to, after I stressed I specifically needed to take my phone number with me, failed to ask me any of the Verizon account info in order to port the number over. I’d gotten a little flustered while on the line with him because calls and texts kept coming in and it as very hard to hear him. It was only AFTER we got off the phone I realized he didn’t ask me any of that info. I called back and Brian did the necessary to fix it.  I attracted it because I was nervous about losing the number. I thought it might happen, I knew there was a chance and I was resigned to it if it happened. I also know that things usually work out for me and when there’s a goof, I can usually find someone right away to fix it. And I did.
