Portland doesn't exist

For the past two weeks I've been trying to change my Seattle cellphone number to a Portland one.

For the past two weeks the Portland region code has been absent from Voicestream's computers.

Two separate people (out of five, over two weeks) have asked, "Well, do you want a Salem number?"

Um, no. That doesn't solve the problem, does it?

They filed a tech trouble ticket on July 4th and it still isn't resolved.

Yet again I wait on hold for those clueless call-center fucks to search for Portland over, and over, and over.

Has Voicestream not had any new customers in the past two weeks?
