Nobody said that this number portability thing was going to be easy, but apparently switches involving AT&T Wireless have been going so poorly that the FCC just sent them a letter warning them to get their act together and demanding to know why there have been so many problems. AT&T Wireless is admitting that as many as 60% of port attempts have failed, and News.com is reporting that some customers ditching AT&T Wireless have been waiting almost two weeks for number transfers to go through. As MobileTracker notes, part of the problem could be that AT&T Wireless was the only cell carrier that didn’t hire TSI to handle all this stuff for them.
