Moved But Want to Keep Phone Number

I've recently moved from Oregon to California. So far I have been
using my Oregon cellular phone in Califonria without incident. When
my contract expires though, I plan to switch carriers. From what I've
read about cellular phone number portability, it appears that a cell
phone dealer in California will not let me keep the same telephone
number if it's not local. Has anyone experienced otherwise?

Can I:

1) Go back to Oregon, find some dealer and sign up and keep the same
number by using a friend's address?

2) Better yet, go to a dealer in California, and ask to sign up but
keep my Oregon number by providing an Oregon address?
