After all, this how carriers can get customers to buy into a contract, which is basically what they want. However, more contracts probably means they can offer relatively cheaper plans so I suspect it all works out in the end...providing you are happy with your phone service. If you're not, then that's where Cellswapper.com is a good place to go.

I find it funny when all over the net (not pointing in particular at author of this article) we see whining about ETF's, but nobody whining about the cheap prices we pay for the phones as a result. You can easily pay a non-subsidized price and avoid a long term contract and ETF. If you want to avoid ETF’s, its simple: don’t take the carrier up on their special deal for a phone.

However, the porting process is entirely under the jurisdiction of the carrier and is beyond our control. Porting policies seem to change very often with each carrier. Therefore, we suggest that to get a definitive answer to your question please contact your specific carrier. ” But of course, if you were really interested, I would suggest calling cellswapper.com’s number (I think they even have live chat) and asking them directly how it would work in the case where the number couldn’t be ported.
