Before you sign up for a 3 year contract with one of the wireless carriers in Canada, you should know that wireless number portability is coming soon, very soon. To be exact, March 14, 2007 is the date set in major metropolitan cities when you will be able to take your number from one carrier to another.
A mobile number has become more and more important, such that people would rather deal with coverage issues than change their mobile number. Well, in less than 3 months time, you will be able to keep that precious number and try your luck with another carrier.
Regardless if you’re in a contract or not, number portability will be an option for you. If you are in a contract, however, be prepared to pay early termination fees, which vary by carrier.
