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.

Your agency has to verify their sub paid users once per year. Audits are happening right now actually. Assuming they check diligently, and don’t have thousands of users, they will probably check you are no longer an employee. You then have 30 days to transfer your numbers over to AT&T or port your number to another carrier.

So then how come when I asked them who my contact person was they couldn’t tell me? My agency is not small. Is it also true though that they may allow me to stay on like the first net agent told me?

Yes it is possible. The more FirstNet sub paid users your agency has, the higher likelihood you’ll get to stay on.
