Wireless number portability will be available starting November 24, 2003 in the 100 most populated areas of the United States and Puerto Rico- with some limitations. Described as MSAs (Metropolitan Statistical Areas) by the U.S. Census Bureau, these geographic regions are defined by population and county lines, and may encompass counties from more than one state.

If you do not see your city listed below don’t worry- you may be eligible for number portability if you live in a nearby region. Otherwise, number portability will be rolled out across the remaining areas of the United States over a six-month period ending May 24, 2004, so sign-up now for cell phone and plan and be eligible to take your number with you.
