It might  be   something called 'Snowman' stopping you. This is an 
option you can invoke , that  was set up to prevent Slamming( 
one   service provider stealing your account from 
another).  Violators  are subject to  high  PSC  & FCC penalties. 
Like $5000 per incidence. and more for  repeat offenders. Best 
to  discuss with  a  phone service provider if this is  the case, you 
can get authorize and  make  changes. Phone numbers are  portable and 
there is  some sort  of   small type  note$ on your bill  for this.
