National Deadline for Wireless Local Number Portability is Less Than Five Days Away
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (May 20, 2004) – Wireless Local Number Portability (WLNP) became available in the nation's top Metropolitan Service Areas (MSAs), including Memphis, back in November. With the FCC-mandated WLNP roll out to the rest of the country scheduled for Monday, May 24, Cellular South is reporting WLNP has been good news for their business.
"Since the implementation of WLNP, Cellular South's customer base in Memphis has had a net gain of ten percent from Memphians who have ported their numbers from other wireless providers in to us at Cellular South," said John Redmond, area manager for Cellular South. "We credit this growth to our flat-rate Unlimited Anytime Calling plans, superior network and, above all, our commitment to providing the best customer service available."
