Question for CSRs
Im building a home in Myrtle Beach with my girlfriend and she has Suncom. She wants to hook up and LNP over to Cingular.
The question is can I add her on a family talk plan even though I have a 702 area code and she is 483? IF not I would have to port over to Suncom. She needs to keep her number as she does her business on the phone. Its not as important to me to keep mine.
What are the options? She does not mind paying the ETF fee as we would have mobile to mobile anyway with residances in Las VEgas and Myrtle BEach the savings would more than make up for the ETF fee. I am month to month and do not want to sign a contract to do this. Otherwise she will have to get a seperate Cingular line and sign for a year.

Unfortunately, with Cingular, all lines on a FT plan must be in the same Market. IMO, the two of you should 1) retain your respective services or 2) change you number to 483 market and then have her port. That is if your number is unimportant as you say. If you leave the suncom area (NC,SC, and GA) at all, you would have either no service or a lot of roaming. But then again, its just my opinion. (Blue/Orange cingular rep, BTW).

483's a valid NPA? O.o Don't you mean 843?
Lexical is right. Cingular's billing systems, like Verizon's, are market-closed. Unlike AT&T Wireless's market-open billing system (you don't need to log or switch markets to look up information on a different market).
I suggest if you intend on living in Myrtle Beach, research closely what cellular companies operate out there and make your decision to switch markets very wisely. (Unless of course you want to keep your Las Vegas 702, for whatever reason. I don't see keeping your 702 unless it's 777-7777 or you've got 10,000 business cards, ink still wet with your number on 'em).
