Need to get a new phone number before I can work. Normally, this wouldn't be a big deal, but my cell phone provider is out of Southern California and I am in the extended service area here in Portland. They can't change my phone number while in the extended area. Great. So now I have to find a new provider and get a new phone and number. And I have to be picky because I need unlimited web and minutes. I hate having to spend money to start making money. Especially when you don't have any.
Why do you need a new phone number? I still have my michigan based number, and have had so for the last 15 years, and no one's ever given me another issue over it !

I'm doing phone calling and they want me to have a local number.

OH! They darn well better be paying your cell phone bill then! Pick up another number, claim it as a business expense on your taxes- they should be paying the bill anyway !

I need the new phone anyhow, since I can't get any updates on my current phone. My calling works, but I am only getting half my texts and I can't get web since I am not in the service area. But yeah, I'll write all this off anyhow.

Fingers crossed they compensate you for the phone calls you're making! With that said, go with verizon. I've had great experiences with them so far.

well are you on GSM? just activate a new SIM card, and change the chip.

or go buy a used cheapy phone and do the above.

When I was in VA and I thought my NYC number was hurting me it was the cheapest course of action.
I can't. My carrier can't guarantee that anything will work up here if I get new or change anything to my plan since I am in the extended network. It's super obnoxious, but I have it figured out, so no more sweating it.

If you put your google voice # in the friends and family circle, and set GV to not pass caller id through (so it uses your GV # on caller ID on forwarded calls) you won't have caller ID of the person calling you but you'll get free calls. If you need to look up who called you, you can go to the GV site and look it up.

Gah I can't remember the name of the site or the provider but there was this thing where you join a site, they send you a phone and you get unlimited everything for $45 a month. Then if you get other peope to sign up, they reduce your monthly bill and eventually will pay you for the people that join through you or your friends.
