How Will Wireless Number Portability Affect My UCSB Telephone Service?
The short answer is: It won’t. Here’s why: First, Santa Barbara is not among those 100 largest metropolitan areas where wireless number portability will become effective on November 24, 2003. The service will not be available in our area until sometime in 2004. More importantly, since UCSB is the customer of record for all campus telephone numbers, those with faculty and staff (prefix 893) or residential (prefix 971) telephone numbers will not be allowed to “port” that number to a wireless carrier.
