And so it begins! Verizon has jumped the gun and announced an agreement to allow customers to turn their landline phone numbers into cell phone numbers. All the carriers have to allow mobile numbers to be portable (you can take your number with you when you switch carriers) by November 24th, but they’ve been fighting landline portability. They’ll be scrambling now that Verizon has made this announcement. Fun times in the phone industry!

This is good news. In essence, you could keep your phone number for life.
I assume Verizon is only able to convert their landline numbers to cell numbers at this point- not anyone elses.
