I would like to port my current number (virgin mobile) into T mobile's $40 starter plan. Couple of months ago I tried to port my number to Aio wireless via their website (with help of a representative over the phone) and it was a whole mess, as it ended up it was easier to do it in-store. Anyways, as this is not crappy aio/cricket and it seems to be really good company in comparison I would like to ask what is the easiest way to port my number succesfully? Shall I do it online, over the phone or go directly to the store? I do not have any problem waiting for the sim card or anything (I would rather avoid the 35 activation fees though) I just want to avoid another fiasco as with Aio.
Also I am not entirely sure about this, but as far as I know virgin mobile phone number and account number is the same, but some people say I should call and ask for the actual "account number"? Can anyone with previous experience porting vm to tmo could tell which worked for you?
Thanks,
Harry
