I put in my order 3 weeks ago, the modem arrived 2 days later. It set up with no problems with the temporary number (before porting). After 1 week I called about my phone number porting status; the tech explained the the porting was never started. I "re"started the porting process, then attempted to make a phone call. A verizon recording came on and said "We have suspended your service because we could not verify your 911 address, click 1 to verify." I clicked 1 and the message said "verified, wait 3 minutes before attempting to call again". I waited about 2 hours. Same thing! I called tech support, who claimed to reset the status manually. I tried again a hour later. Still no-go! I tried logging into the control panel that, again, states suspended. I acknowledge my 911 address and get the following message: "If you are having problems or have questions about VoiceWing Broadband Phone Service, please contact: 1-800-270-5369. Hours of operation: Mon. - Fri. 8 a.m. - 11 p.m. ET, Sat. 10 a.m. - 7 p.m. ET" UGH! I call again (now 3 weeks past) and they tell me to wait 24 hours. And to top it off, they will not waive the charge for all this time I have been out of service. I am very frustrated!
If you chose Voicewing, you will probably have these same problems (I have been asking around, and I am not the only one). Just be aware, and please try not to get upset with the offshore-outsourced service techs. They are just trying to make a living, while getting no real support from Verizon.
