The guy auctioning off 867-5309 (made famous in the forgettable hit 867-5309/Jenny) is collecting eBay bids despite the fact that Verizon says they won't transfer the number because number portability wasn't supposed to confer ownership (and hence the right to sell) to its customers.
But there's a question of whether the number can even be transferred to the winner once the auction ends Feb. 22. Verizon says there's no question: It can't. Individuals do not have ownership of the numbers given to them, a Verizon spokesman said.
