Well, if you didn't look at the link you wouldn't know. It spells out all
the hoops you'd need to go through to keep your number. I don't know who
your carrier is. But the link implies that it is complicated. And I do
know that Sprint wouldn't allow us to keep our number. But that was almost
10 years ago. Or they would allow us but would double tax us. And I wasn't
willing to pay.
