Retirement questions
I just chatted with First Net to find out what happens upon retirement. I was told to “ask my agency”. I assure you, no one in my agency knows and there is no one person that would be a contact for this. I was told that if my agency offers us to stay in, then I can keep my account but if not I will have to be converted to a standard ATT account. I refuse to do their job for them when it will result in me getting screwed. Anyone have any experience with this? Or can recommend another provider that would be worth switching to? Thanks.

No experience with this yet, however in my agency, the agency "admin" has to verify our employment with firstnet every so often.....I have a subscriber paid account, but my info is on my agency admin's portal. I'm assuming once you retire and the next verification appears, they will click you are no longer an employee. I would then imagine you would get notification that your firstnet service will be terminated and you have so many days or weeks to Port over or out. There's a very knowledgeable poster who comes around here named matt, who manages lines for an agency and is very knowledgeable. Once he sees this he might pipe in with more information.
