71 TRUCKRecommendations for a back up cell phone. Update on page 3. My old phone is working.
Well 17 days later MY PHONE IS WORKING AGAIN,finally.
Not sure what they did but my wife was on the phone with them tonight for one last time and the customer service tech said let me try this, next thing I know the phone is working.
I have said in the past to my wife that technology has advanced so far that sometimes when something breaks people do not know how to fix it. Tonight we found someone who could fix it.
Now I will have to carry my temporary phone along with my old phone for a little while. Thankfully I did not have to give out the temp number to that many people.
Thanks for all the help and information.

If the reason that you're carrying two phones, is so that you don't miss calls coming in to the temporary phone, check to see if the temporary has "Call Forwarding" feature. If so, set it to forward incoming calls to your "real" phone, and you will only need to carry one phone.

swampdogCongrats bud, I’m glad you got it back. I was angry for you.

It’s one less stress to worry about.

Thanks. I have my wife's persistence to thank for getting my phone working again. Not knowing if I was going to get my old phone number back was the biggest problem.
