Which carrier told you that? I just transferred my number and didn't have to sign up for a contract with T-mobile. They didn't even try to sell me one when I told them I already had a phone. They also allowed me to transfer my number a couple weeks after activating the SIM, so I was able to have a temporary number for the Freerunner while I tested calling it with my old cell phone. On the other hand, Sprint, who I was switching from, did send me a huge bill for quitting before my contract expired, even though it had expired years ago. I called Sprint up and, to make a long story short, after I reminded them that they are big dummies, they apologized and dropped the charges. :-) --Ben _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
