Vincent, I believe during the # port process that you will be able to make calls immediately, but being able to receive calls on your # may take a few hours. Most articles I have read recommend to carry both your new and old phone until the new phone is fully functional. Number porting should not take more than 24 hours and in most cases is done within an hour or two.

alex, can you check with your friend and find out how ATT will handle the whole number portability?

So here’s the question, what happens if I am currently with T-Mobile and want to switch to ATT and bring my number along? Will I be without service for an x-period of time while the number is being ported over – rendering my iPhone useless during that period?

Im here to say that i got official word from my good friend that works for att. He told me that its for sure that the iphone goes on sale friday june 15th. He also told me that att stores usually get about 15 phones when “the new ones” come out. He is expecting that his store is only going to get a handful…but he also said apple stores will have more than them. But being apple i dont know if thats the case here. I am calling in sick and camping out to get mine.

I’m still convinced that it will likely launch on June 19. Apple is known for their Tuesday launches. The June 15 date would simply give them time to prepare the store for the iPhone.

utsava – that’s really bad because Arizona isn’t an AT&T town. Looks like I’ll have to camp out in Las Vegas on launch day if I don’t attend WWDC.

There are 3 Apple stores in town – but I just don’t know how Apple will provision the iPhone and setup new accounts. So many damn unknowns.

We’ll be getting a couple for the staff and move a few accounts over from T-Mobile.

June 15th is the final day of WWDC07, makes sense to me.

Vincent, it has already been announced that the iPhone will only be available in 4 places:

cingular.com
Official Cingular Stores
Apple.com
Apple Stores

So yes, none of the “authorized cingular/AT&T stores will have the iPhone.

oh – I might add that this supposed memo was sent to all company owned employees. Does this mean that non-cingular owned stores will not be getting the iPhone?!!
