Is Comcast allowed to switch my phone number without my approval ?

Question

Hi,

Comcast sent to me a letter explaining that I have to switch my Digital Phone service to Comcast Digital Voice. If I don't switch my phone service will be terminated.The problem is: They want to change my current phone number also, witch I AM NOT WILLING TO GIVE UP. They tried to explain with some FCC rules .....#$%%&&**(**^% .....

Do we have any law that protects me and my phone number as a 5 years long customer who paid always on time???

PS: I don't have problem with switching from Digital Phone service to Comcast Digital Voice by itself.

Thank You.

You should be able to keep your number.

I've never heard of a phone company doing that.

You should be able to port your existing phone number.
