Hi all,

I'm planning to go to an Apple Store today to pick up a 3GS but had a specific question regarding porting my Verizon # to AT&T.

I live in CA right now, but my Verizon number is a HI number under my Dad's name. I'm planning to set up a new AT&T account in my name but want to port my HI number to it.

There are two potential problems I see here based on reading old threads. For one, I'm attempting to port an out-of-state number with a different area code, which I've found has given many people problems. On top of that, the old number is under my Dad's name, not mine.

I was thinking of getting the new iPhone w/ a new number in my name so I'm the primary AT&T account holder and then calling the AT&T port center to port my Verizon number. Does this seem like a good plan/any other suggestions to minimize problems? Thanks!
