On Oct. 21st, I attempted to transfer my Verizon phone number to Straight Talk. For some reason, I was told that the number had not been released. I called Verizon back, and was told the number had been released. Checking back with Straight Talk, I was then told that the number had a "restriction" on it. Checking back with Verizon, there was no evidence of a restriction. Straight Talk seems to be giving the runaround, and that is disappointing.
