thank you guys for 'hanging in with me' ... thank you Taoman, I read your link. I am asking my kids for help, they live in cities, always using cell phones. So, on TOP of me needing to find a cell service to temp move my line, I get this from Google " It is mandatory that you have working, paid mobile phone service on the number you wish to port. You must be able to answer the verification phone call. This is a fraud prevention measure and it cannot be bypassed."
you see, cells don't Work at my house... so, I can't answer they verification call... I am hoping maybe I can get it on wifi. COST isn't the problem... I expect a cost... but, geesh, the roadblocks... so, can you think of ANY reason, having another person DO this for me would be a problem? I DO have a working google number (I kinda remember I got a callback to my landline way back when) I would OFFER to pay somene, but, I don't wanna get Banned here.... I'm Hoping, by end of today, I will have an answer... the Time, isn't a problem, I understand... right now, att repair man was Supposed to come on monday... wed morning, no show , no call, nothing, thanks att, in the middle of a pandemic... Fed ex, was supposed to deliver medicine to my dying dog... lost, had to reorder, Hope it comes today... poor guy... anyway, Obihai has been good to me, for Years... so, I have faith... thanks for all your help and suggestions!
