Hi....we decided to switch from att to Verizon, and have 10 days left on the AT&T contract...somehow when my wife set up the new contract on the phone, she set it to port the numbers over immediately upon activation. So our AT&T service is dead because we just realized this upon activating the iPhone 5s. How will att deal with this? Will they charge us an ETF now? How much do you think it will be? Is our AT&T contract immediately terminated upon porting the two numbers out? Anyone else gone through this?
Thanks!
I had a similar situation. Almost identical except I had ported to google voice instead of another carrier.
The good news: You have 59 days to port back to AT&T and if you do so the ETF will be waived. Just call 1-800-331-0500.
When you port out the service is canceled immediately. Since you only have 10 days you "may" be able to simple call and get somebody to waive the fee. Although I kind of doubt as the ETF for each device now would be $95 each.
I simple ported back to AT&T from google voice. Got immediately credited and was done with it.
Since you're using Verizon you'd likely need to call them first to explain everything as porting back to AT&T would then cancel your Verizon service.
