transferring phone numbers

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2020.03.01

When I came back to Canada I used a service offered by a fellow in Manitoba to acquire a number in Toronto's then newish 647 area code. This allowed me to forward calls to my number in Japan, and allowed me to read texts on the website of the firm in Manitoba. I kept that number for a number of years.

Today I contacted the company again to see if I could do the same in reverse - this time, I'd be transferring my Toronto number to him for parking there for $3.50 a month. Here's hoping!
