Porting Your Phone Number For Cheap
January 12th, 2010
So I have been keeping my US cell phone, because the Intl data is nice and i didn’t want to lose my cell phone number.
But its kinda cost prohibitive. I dropped the Intl data, but the lowest package I can get is 40$ a month. Still expensive for a phone that i’m not going to use.
- The lowest plan cricket has is 30$ a month.
- Skype isn’t technically a VOIP, so they can’t port numbers
- Vonage is too expensive and is prolly going out of business this summer
- Google Voice is working on porting numbers, but aren’t there yet, but they would be ideal
- Enter 3jam
- For 4.99$ a month & a one time fee of 25$ you can port your cell phone number over
- Same features as Google Voice: Voice mail transcription, mobile apps, etc
- I doubt it is actually as good as google voice
- it is written in PHP
- You can port your number out also
So I signed up for 3Jam today. So I’ll keep you posted on how it all turns out.
