You just walk in and set up two brand new lines of service. Once you decide you like the service, you call up to our Port Activation Center (PAC) and they replace your temp numbers with your permanent ones. If you don't like it, just return the equipment to the store you purchased it from.

nah, just ask them for new service with a new number. You can tell them what you're planning to do or not, it wont matter to their commission so they won't mind.

PAC's number is 1 888 898 7685

I would definitely recommend buying from a store though. If you want to return it, this expidites it. If you're buying online from a 3rd party dealer they may try and fine you when you port in your other numbers to replace the ones they assigned you.

Agents work too. I'm not a corp employee. I wouldn't go to "Bob's Cellular" (sorry Bob), but a premium agent will do you right too.
