Company's refusal to retun cell phone #

I switched my personal cell phone number to my employer to their service provided on their instance. They had a discount plan for all their employees’ cell phones. I was hesitant, but was given a verbal reassurance that if I left the company, I would be able to have my number returned to me.

Needless to say, I left the company and they will not return my number. Company policy they claim. I gave them the number in good faith, now I feel I’ve been shafted. I had that number for 4 years before I joined the organization and have hundreds of contacts that will not be able to get a hold of me now.

I live in Indiana, company headquarters in Texas.

Any recourse?

Based on what you say here, you could file suit against them (or at least threaten to do so) in small claims court or in regular court; filing in small claims court is easier and requires no attorney...you could try to collect all of the costs and damages that you suffered due to their behavior...
