Switch Your Carrier, Keep Your Number
WLNP, which stands for Wireless Local Number Portability, enables you to change cell phone service providers within the same local area and keep the same phone number. You are allowed to port your number an existing wireless line (or even from an existing land line) to another wireless line.
The initial launch of WLNP was in the year 2003 and now the practice is fairly commonplace. Many people make use of it when obtaining a new cell phone, as it enables them to change wireless carriers without losing the phone number that they may have had for a number of years.
