But if you look at it from an integrity point of view, saying you are moving when you arent is lying. Porting then cancelling is just a good solid loophole. Whatever happened to honesty? I guess it was lost in a loophole. Whatev..

If you port the number within the 14 day trial, you own it and the contract you signed for it

The same thing happened when cingy bought att. At first it worked, then the reps were told to call and re-activate the old acct with cust service. Granted some slipped by, but the majority were placed back on their old contract or hit with an etf...
