I know that Packet8 and MANY other providers are fighting this exact same battle trying to get ex-sunrocket numbers released. The gaining provider can only keep pressuring the clec who has to pressuring the losing provider. I know it sucks, but as I said many providers are having this problem with SunRocket/Teleblend.

If you sign with Teleblend in hopes of getting your number and canceling Packet8, you may or may not get the number back. Then you will be starting all over again later which still could take the 4-6 weeks to port.

I don't speak for any of the providers; including Packet8; but some of the provider's leaders I've spoken with feel confident that by the end of the month most of these headaches should be behind them. In other words, they feel that they are making progress with the clecs and the politics involved. Especially for those who never signed up for the taliban. That in no way is me or anyone else telling you that you should stay with Packet8 or anyone else you are having the similar problem with thinking you are guaranteed to have everything done in the next 7-10 days. Only that they are working on it and feel that progress is being made. You have to decide for yourselves. Just understand the risk however. You could call teleblend and they might be able to give you number back immediately. However, it could already be released to the clec and it could take you just as much time or more to get it back then to stay and continue to put pressure on the providers.

Anyway, that's my $0.0245343 Take it for what it's worth. Later....

Teleblend told me over the phone that the number is gone, and that the only way I could activate it would be to sign up with them. This is ethically and legally wrong it seems to me, but I don't know what choice I have.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Porting-from-SR-to-Packet8-18929117 Wed, 22 Aug 2007 18:18:44 EDT Re: Porting # from SR to Packet8 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Porting-from-SR-to-Packet8-18929031
Packet 8 is blaming Teleblend for not releasing my number. I checked and it seems to be a Level 3 number. A supervisor said they are taking my case to the FCC. Somehow I don't think that will amount to much. In the meantime, I HAVE passed my 30 day period to cancel and still no port available.

Here is my question: is there anything I can do to get my old sunrocket number activated as soon as possible. I would even be willing to sign up with Teleblend. I don't even care about the equipment, I just have calls forwarded to my cell phone. I have the number on a bunch of signs and customers are going to think I'm out of business if I don't do something quick. Packet 8 seems to be implying that it could be weeks before the number is ported, and I can't afford to wait that long. Is there a chance I will lose the number all together? It will be expensive to have signs remade, but I can't go another 2-4 weeks without having the correct number on my signs.

Please help. Thanks.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Porting-from-SR-to-Packet8-18929031 Wed, 22 Aug 2007 18:05:52 EDT Re: Porting # from SR to Packet8 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Porting-from-SR-to-Packet8-18919447 08/16) and now all is well.

I called 3-4 times and not once i could speak to a manager, and they said someone would call me back and not once they called me back. My sales rep that signed me up lied and the support is hossible, and i dont have my phone number. So i hope you can understand why i am extremely unhappy.

As you can see porting is an issue for sunrocket customers. I am pissed off as hell because they lied to me.

It really that simple. Maybe this is not a big deal to you but if you had a number for 15-20 yrs, and all of a sudden no one can reach you then its a big deal. Its really that simple.

I posted in two posts because I wanted to make sure that users get help and if enough users have been lied to (keyword is if) then they should complain and let Packet8 know that signing up customers in a deceiving manner is unacceptable. I can not speak for everyone but more me, i am unhappy that this and the fact that there customer server manager will not call me back or will not speak to me when i call. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Porting-from-SR-to-Packet8-18914011 Mon, 20 Aug 2007 18:18:16 EDT Re: Porting # from SR to Packet8 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Porting-from-SR-to-Packet8-18913837 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Porting-from-SR-to-Packet8-18913837 Mon, 20 Aug 2007 17:50:13 EDT Re: Porting # from SR to Packet8 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Porting-from-SR-to-Packet8-18913811
NOTE: Call and complain to packet8 about the porting problem and they will give you a second month for free as well. AGAIN I DO not want an 2ndnd free month, I would rather have the number transferred as promised, or I should receive a response at least.

I was a sunrocket customer, I signed up with Packet8 since the sleezy sales rep said porting will take 2-3 days because they are also on teh level3 network and because they are preferred partner of sunrocket.

Its been over a month since I have signed up with packet 8. I called 3-4 times, the manager was never available and on top of that the managers never called back.

I have filed complaint with the BBB and am writing to FTC, since the sales rep lied, and they have tied up my number.

BBB: »odr.bbb.org/odrweb/public/GetStarted.aspx
»rn.ftc.gov/pls/dod/wsolcq$.startup

File a complaint so that they know its not ok to lie to potential customers. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Porting-from-SR-to-Packet8-18913811 Mon, 20 Aug 2007 17:47:28 EDT Re: Porting # from SR to Packet8 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Porting-from-SR-to-Packet8-18888353 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Porting-from-SR-to-Packet8-18888353 Thu, 16 Aug 2007 16:17:09 EDT Re: Porting # from SR to Packet8 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Porting-from-SR-to-Packet8-18886367 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Porting-from-SR-to-Packet8-18886367 Thu, 16 Aug 2007 11:35:49 EDT Re: Porting # from SR to Packet8 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Porting-from-SR-to-Packet8-18886299
I was told I would get an e-mail today with my cancellation confirmation and an RMA to return the equipment. 30 minutes later I received the following e-mails:


Hi xxxxxx

Your LNP request was received and is in Progress.

Regards,
Packet8 Call Center Team.



Still no cancellation request though. Will it take 29 days to get that e-mail? :uhh:

Plus the service wasn't that great as far as quality goes, echo, dropped words, etc. I for one am glad I'm done with them. It might have been a good service for some people (and I'm happy for them after what we all went thru), but not for me.

So if I'm impatient about services promised and never delivered, thats my right. Seeing how it is my money.

I then decided to sign up with P8 last week because it is suppose to be #2 in voice quality (not true based on what I'm reading here). I called to sign up because I want to make sure there are real people that I can talk to when I needed someone. But I soon found out that this is only true when you are a potential customer. After signup, I could not get anyone to talk to me even if I'm willing to be place on HOLD. Automated customer service hang up on me numerous times after a message saying something like "..too many callers and please try later..." I also could not get anyone to "live chat" with me because there's never an agent available. It also terminates you after few attempts trying to get someone.

During my signup, I made sure the rep knows that there is a number to be ported and that number was input into my account. She also told me how long it would take. But when I logged in, there's nothing in the LNP status section. Am I suppose to make another request online???? I did anyway, but online is telling me that my number is not eligible for porting w/o reason.

Was I suppose to make LNP request online AGAIN after signup? Those of you who have been talking to "someone"..
Can you tell me how can I get someone on the line so I can cancel? Thanks!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Porting-from-SR-to-Packet8-18883943 Wed, 15 Aug 2007 23:37:38 EDT Re: Porting # from SR to Packet8 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Porting-from-SR-to-Packet8-18875778 said by Fluxxer:

I went ahead an canceled my packet 8 service, got tired of the "we are escalating" line and the hours on hold just to hear it. Plus the service wasn't as good as it initially seemed, some echo and problems with the other person not being able to hear me...
I'm about to cancel too. Your thoughts about their service are exactly what I've experienced. I've already reconfigured my SR adapter and signed up with CallCentric. Not sure if they'll do a better job at porting my old numbers - but at least they have local numbers available to issue.

Funny thing was when I canceled it was like "Ok, we'll send out the cancellation email with instructions to send the adapter back." Which was kinda nice that I didn't have to deal with some retention agent. :)

"..The FCC ruled "the classification of a third-party provider’s VoIP service as an information service or a telecommunications service is irrelevant to the issue of whether a wholesale provider of telecommunications may seek interconnection under Section 251(a) and (b). What matters is that the wholesale carrier is providing telecommunications for a fee; the type of service the carrier’s customer is providing (in this case, VoIP) is not relevant..."

"..The order clarifies that CLECs serving interconnected VoIP providers must provide number portability pursuant to section 52.23 of the FCC’s rules when a VoIP provider’s customer changes carriers..."

If TWC did not think the FCC had jurisdiction, they wouldn't have filed. If the FCC did not believe they had the authority, they wouldn't have granted the petition.

I now have only 4 days left to cancel. No update whatsoever on the P8 web portal on the status of my port. Several calls have promised to escalate things - it's only escalated my blood pressure.

I think I read where Teleblend is not even a U.S. Company. I know they have some kind of agreement to use a legit US company to help manage, but is Teleblend's parent company subject to US laws?

I mean, if they do business here, but their corporate office is in Sri Lanka somewhere, how could they be fined or made to comply? Will the FBI pull their plug for not operating under US laws correctly?

I don't think so.

In fact you probably planned to use TB for a short period only, which is not illegal, but also not "honorable" thing to do. So don't be surprised when they screw you back.
Actually, it was not illegal, and it was also not "not honorable" - TeleBlend was offering a month-to-month service, no contract required - so you could use them for one month, or as long as you wanted to stay with them.

Thank you for all of the info you have provided. I have an unlocked Innomedia and an AC-211-SR. I have no problems logging into either. I was unable to establish service with TeleBlend on the Innomedia after I had performed a factory reset. I thought I needed the user and PW info from TeleBlend to establish service. I selected Nuvio since it had clear instructions for both adapters. It only took a few minutes to setup two new accounts with Nuvio.

As soon as I realized that TeleBlend was unable to provide the promised level of service I decided to go with another provider.

which ATA do you have? for the AC-211-SR (and N) and innomedia, try the site in my .sig for passwords. if you have the AC-211, my site also has two programs that you can run to figure out the password.

most likely, they're just going to retool the SR site and rebrand it w/ TB logos, since they apparantly have taken over the SR infrastructure. »www.myteleblend.net/documents/Te···2707.pdf

On July 30th Packet 8 assured me that my old number would be ringing by Aug. 1st. I didn't even receive the replacement gizmo until Aug. 2nd. They then PROMISED me that within 7-10 days my number would be ported. 2 weeks later and no porting, all they can say now is to wait and perhaps in 4-6 weeks the number will be ported. 2 lies, no service, yet they have my money. Today a rep. from packet8 told me that "originally they were telling customers 7-10 days would complete the porting, now however due to some illegal activity by Teleblend the porting processes are being held up", this statement came directly from the Packet8 representative. This better not be true !!
Rest assured that if you didn't sign up for TB service and they did a pull on your number after it ported to P8, they will be fried at the stake by the FCC, The clecs are heavily regulated on their paper trails (one of the big reasons for voip ports taking longer) that the clecs will turn over ALL the info with out regards....
TB will then be liable to you also. They do not own the number. You do.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Porting-from-SR-to-Packet8-18851825 Sat, 11 Aug 2007 00:55:51 EDT Re: Porting # from SR to Packet8 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Porting-from-SR-to-Packet8-18850506 said by HenryDavid:

On July 30th Packet 8 assured me that my old number would be ringing by Aug. 1st. I didn't even receive the replacement gizmo until Aug. 2nd. They then PROMISED me that within 7-10 days my number would be ported. 2 weeks later and no porting, all they can say now is to wait and perhaps in 4-6 weeks the number will be ported. 2 lies, no service, yet they have my money. Today a rep. from packet8 told me that "originally they were telling customers 7-10 days would complete the porting, now however due to some illegal activity by Teleblend the porting processes are being held up", this statement came directly from the Packet8 representative. This better not be true !!
read this thread, and i think, one other here on DSLR. It does seem like TB is doing something here...

I continue to submit trouble tickets, since I have not been able to reach TeleBlend by phone. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Porting-from-SR-to-Packet8-18848343 Fri, 10 Aug 2007 15:02:37 EDT Re: Porting # from SR to Packet8 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Porting-from-SR-to-Packet8-18846872 said by tequilla :

Well to teleblendbl, i wish to make it clear that i transitioned to teleblend successfully and sucessfully had both my incomming and outgoing jeopardized, unabashedly by the great teleblend. It does not seem to be a problem just with me but with thousands others who sucessfully blended with teleblend. I have no outgoing or incomming, and phones to their CSR says " all circuits are busy..." i am just horrifed to see that this is just a copy of the sunrocket problem, they went out without informing and now super(tele)blend, did the same i.e. temporarily shut down without informing its paid subscribers. Is there no body who can curtail such malpractices and shody dealings in this country. This is a rip off and teleblendbl is here to make blending of this issue, may be you are given a satellite phone to talk to that frog or fogg whatever his name is..... as all circuits are busy at this time at teleblend.
dispute the charges w/ your CC and file an FCC complaint. once the banks and the feds start knocking on their doors, maybe they'll get off their asses and fix things, if it isn't too late.

Why don't you just pack you spam some where else. Your nothing more than a paid for third party shill for TeleTubby.

You have no data to provide, everything you say within a day or two gets proven wrong ... bottom line is BBR folks know the real deal whats going on, even with paid shills posting here claiming the "want to help" the poor SR customers

All YOU want is your commission payment ... here's a free one, your never going to get a dime as Teletubby won't be around in a month]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Porting-from-SR-to-Packet8-18846834 Fri, 10 Aug 2007 11:41:57 EDT Re: Porting # from SR to Packet8 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Porting-from-SR-to-Packet8-18846796
Regardless, I doubt TB will continue to operate as a viable corporation given the negative publicity that has surrounded it since it's inception. Why? Consider the problems experienced this week. Customers who don't know about DSLR probably won't tolerate a week+ of no phone service, they'll go somewhere else. Or, they'll Google around and see these threads. Customers who do know about DSLR either won't sign up, or will do so just to save their number, and then leave. My unscientific poll of DSLR readers shows about 81% will do just that. That's a high enough attrition rate to sink any company.

I can sit here and tell you that the majority of TeleBlend customers have transitioned successfully, but that doesn't really matter because the customer who is having problems isn't really going to be helped or assuaged that other customers are doing fine.

I can tell you this: Significant progress has been made as TeleBlend transitions customers and gets things up and running. Given the circumstances under which things occurred the process was not going to be perfect, but it will get better. For some, understandably, this progress may not come fast enough and that is a decision each individual will have to make. But TeleBlend has put in place a service and offering that will serve customers for years to come. Again, I'll leave it to each existing and potential customer to determine what works best for them.

If you have questions feel free to PM me. Again, I'm here to keep the lines of communication open between TB and the customers. As I type this I know some will respond skeptically and that I understand.
