| Convert to dry loop and port land # to other cell carrier??? Don't know if this is the right place for this, but might be too technical for customer service if I call.
I now have a combined dsl & land line account (all ATT). I want to keep my phone number and current email account but I want to convert to dry loop dsl and port my land # to another cell carrier (not ATT, doesn't work around here).
I'm confused about the order I should proceed if I want to keep my dsl active w/ the same email. I don't mind a short dsl interuption but I want to make sure I keep my email address. The cell carrier (USCC) tells me I need to come in and fill out a form and that will cancel my land line service automatically after a few days. But will it also turn off my dsl and force me to create a new dsl account w/ new email, etc?
Should I call ATT and ask them to keep my dsl active or will it stay active by default and just convert to dry loop & charge the extra $3/month? |

1 edit | I decided to have this moved to the public forum for this I think is and this will answer a lot of questions at once I think.
Now here is how I would do it.
1.) Proceed with the dry loop dsl number (leaving everything else intact)-
2.) When the dry loop is installed- Arrange your IW to where your dry loop service is coming in at, confirm sync at your nid/sni/gray test jack.
3.) Ensure you have sync and can connect. Make sure your current DSL jack in your home has your new service working.
4.) With the old line, go ahead and initiate a disconnect for your old DSL line. Since you moved to your naked dsl circuit already, this should be no impact to you.
5.)when your old dsl line is disconnected, then go to the registration site and re-register your dsl on your dry loop/naked dsl circuit.
6.)Then port your phone number to whoever you want.
