[*] Wireless Portability - my painfull attempt

[LES.NET (1996) INC.]

I have no idea.

Telus mucked up the port, and said they had to re-submit it, this was
thursday, and they said it would take 5-7 days to complete.

I can't go 5-7 days without an inbound phone service.

Its clear that they did not think through this business process.
