bell to rogers (keeping phone number)

[ReAder]

Hi, looking to switch over to Rogers from Bell (prepaid), I was thinking about a GSM phone, but since Bell uses CDMA is it possible to keep my phone number through a bit of wrangling?

no

Not yet...but possibly in a few months if the CRTC allows telephone number portability.

When changing carriers right now, it is impossible to keep your phone number. For now...as stated, there is some movement to the US rule that you own the phone number, regardless of carrier.
