I chatted with someone on Reddit who did this successfully, but they were on AT&T and I'm on Verizon. I spoke to a dude at the Verizon store and they said "I don't believe you can do this" and I talked to 2 CS reps in India who were confused by what I was asking and didn't have an answer. I am sure there's a way to do this, but Verizon apparently doesn't have any level 2 techs anymore, I asked to be transferred and the next person I spoke to was clueless here. I'm hoping maybe someone here will have an idea.
Here's what I'm trying to do. I just bought an iPad today and the number that Verizon attached to it so it can register in their system is a God like vanity number. I hate the number on my phone and it's nearly impossible for people to remember. I'm trying to figure out how to swap them so my phone can have the number that's on my iPad now. It is a valid Verizon number, I called it and it said the device was disconnected, I know iPad's can't be used as phones. But hearing "welcome to Verizon told it's a real phone number and not some fake internal number just used because the account needs something there.
I'm making monthly payments on the phone and the tablet. I know I could port the number out and back in, but on a device that's on payments I don't think that's possible. I asked the CS rep and they said 2 different things, so that didn't help.
anyone have an ideas here? It seems Verizon will be of no help.
