I was so happy to get a cell phone that I accepted the first offer that the company gave me. When I told my friend how much I was paying per month for my service, she was shocked. She told me that I was paying twice as much as she was, and she had more features. I signed a one year contract, so I had six months left before I could switch. I want to keep my same number, so I called the her carrier and they insured me that I could with a Paccode. I am so glad, because I sure did not want to go through the hassles that comes with getting a new number.
