| Sunrocket stealing numbers back?? Went through the transition, ported my number to Packet8. This was completed on July 18th. Everything working fine, calls working through Packet8. Sunrocket gizzmo unplugged. A check on Sunrocket showed nothing going there. Thought everything was fine.
Today, started getting voicemail alerts through email from Sunrocket. When you dial my number, rings to Sunrocket then voicemail. I had Sunrocket set up to alert me to voicemail.
I called Packet8, they did some tests, then stated that several people are having the same problem. Seems that Sunrocket/Teleblend are stealing some numbers back. Packet8 is escalating it but thought that I would let people know if all of a sudden they stop getting calls.
Another chapter in the saga...... | |

| This is absolutely happening. I have been working with Packet8 for several days now trying to get my number ported correctly. They (Packet8) are escalating the issue to the FCC and have asked me to file a complaint with them as well.
According to the Supervisor I spoke with at Packet8, there are hundreds of numbers that Teleblend is now holding captive.
If you want to file an FCC complaint as well (I did), you should use this link: »www.fcc.gov/cgb/complaints.html
Teleblend should be put out of business for engaging in this type if illegal activity. | |

odd that this is happening w/ packet 8, one of the "preferred providers"....

chalk up one more FCC violation to credit to TB.
Now, to clear things up, are the only people who are experiencing this signed up w/ TB (to save number, etc)? Or are non-TB subscribers who went to another provider (not necessarily packet8) also seeing this?

Or are non-TB subscribers who went to another provider (not necessarily packet8) also seeing this? I signed up directly with Packet8. I never signed up for service with TB; I did not trust that they would be a viable option as they had only been around for 2 weeks prior to the SR downfall. I have been waiting for 6 weeks for my number to port. I called P8 after 2 wks and was informed that SR or TB was holding on to lots of numbers and they they were currently in a lawsuit over it with them. The CSR told me that it would be another 4 weeks. It has been 4 weeks and my number still has not ported. I would just say to hell with the old number and use the new one except that the number P8 assigned me is not local to some of the areas that my un-ported number is local to; people that have always been able to make a local call to me are now having to dial long distance.
Due to the porting issue and the SERIOUS LACK of features with P8, I am seriously considering canceling and finding another provider, but I fear I may have f**ked myself by waiting so long. Has anybody had any experience with Magic Jack? | |

| Re: Sunrocket stealing numbers back?? Sunrocket nor Teleblend are holding on to any numbers. Packet 8, Vonage, ViaTalk, SunRocket, Voip.com, Lingo, and Teleblend all get numbers from carriers. When someone LNP's a number to another service, that old carrier that held the number now has to release the number. It is not the service provider (the guys I listed above) that does this. They actually have no say in this process at all. | |

1 edit | This "line snatch-back" occured to the SR numbers we ported too.
All was well at the end of the day however.
Had to reactivate Forwarding calls from SR to my other numbers to get calls that day.
What is amazing is that I ported the numbers from SR NOT Teleblender. TB was the one yanking back numbers. The sheer audacity!
Anyone who is with these bozos past a month or two (to port out) is a fool! Their craftiness wont stop.

VoicePulse yanked em back harder. Got a call around 5pm that all was well.
It just goes to show you that TB TOS is true and they will make it very hard for you (at their sole discretion) to port out once they get their act together. Of course this happened without their act being together.

Clearly a bunch of us around here (and in the VT forum) hitched our wagons to the wrong mule. Way to go Voicepulse... When the whole SR thing went down, one of the few companies that really sounded like a step up in both quality and value that I read about on-line was VoicePulse. I signed up with them that very first week. I spoke to very knowledgeable and professional reps on the phone.
The next day, I got the bad news in a personal call from VoicePulse that they cold not port my number. They asked if I still wanted to proceed BEFORE shipping the equipment. Unfortunately, not keeping our number for well over 10 years is not an option, so we had to regretfully decline. A credit on my CC was there the very next day.
I went to their website and logged my e-mail for when LNP is available in my area. I certainly hope to hear from them and would not hesitate to leave TB if that option with my number was there.

Also have a relative in No VA with 703-737-3 that VP couldn't port a number as well, which I found most surprising. While their website implied porting was possible in all these cases, I found it to be much more limited. | |

| I never went with Teleblend. What I find funny or odd is TB implied that to keep your number & avoid having it ported to go with them.
To all of those that did go w/TB, I'm sure you read TB's terms of service when you signed up. If you need to review it, go to their web site and look at the paragraph starting with 'Telephone Number' under the USE OF SERVICE section. You will see that "Upon termination of the Service, TeleBlend may, in its sole discretion, release a Number that was ported in from a previous service provider to TeleBlend." There's more to the paragraph, but you get the point.
After reading these comments it sounds like they were even snatching SR numbers of the ones that never signed up with them. These TB people don't sound very nice. In fact, their actions indicate some may be on drugs, or some illegal substance. If they're not and acting the way they do, they need to be! | |

| I would be happy to sign up - just having found the Register button yet.
I have never signed up with Teleblend so they have no reason to be keeping my number. I did on one of the first days start to fill out their registration form (which I believed included my Sunrocket phone number) but never completed the transaction.
The odd thing is they are releasing the numbers via the official port process (Packet8 confirmed that), they are just not taking the numbers out of their system.
Right now if you call my ported number from a Packet8 phone, it works just fine. If you call it from the outside world the call is unable to route correctly as it is registered on two different systems. | |

Could Teleblend be doing bulk ports of all SR numbers not paying attention to who signed up with them or not.

| My SR number was ported to P8 very quickly (4 days after I told them not to port it).
Then SR/TB took it back, then P8 took it back 2 days later.
It amazes me that SR/TB and P8 can toss my number back and forth without my permission, but VT can't port it to them with my permission.
Obviously the people who actually port the numbers and the people who answer our customer service calls have no efficient means of communicating with one another. | |

It is the same reason mine and everyone else inbound isn't working either. TB looks like they are trying to provide a service and the carriers are just pissed off about SR and taking it out on them. Give 'em a break! | |

| Previous SR victum. Signed with Packet8 and requested porting on July 31,2007. Nothing yet. Packet8 unable to come up with a difinitive answer as to why my SR# is not porting over. They know, they are just stalling and when I try to pin them down they tell me they are going to escalate my porting process. I've been told that many times by them and still nothing. It is absolutely true that "teleblend" must be holding my SR numbers hostage because people that try to call me on my old SR# get the following message "We apologize for the inconvenience but your existing Sunrocket service has been disconnected! To activate your new sevice with Teleblend please visit www.teleblend.com or call 1-877-488-5519 or dial 0 from your phone. I never applied for or activated with teleblend.

| Just a FYI, SR/TB does not happen to get involved with the port. What appears to have happened is that the carriers cut off the service to the SR system, and took all their numbers back. well when TB got the service turned back up, then the numbers that the carriers had control of were still registered as SR numbers since they were not processing (the carriers) the ports they put them back on the circuits.
so TB did not do anything illegal in all reality it is the stupid carriers that messed this up. If you try to port your number away now, the carriers are the ones that are handling the ports, NOT TB so it is hard for TB to steal a number, that they dont even have control over.
if you are really ticked off, I would suggest you call the carrier and tell them to get their act together and not the FCC or TB. They cannot do anything about it.
If you are curios how I know this, I work for a voip hardware provider, and so I am in the local industry. We saw teh same problem with another voip provider that went down. | |

The primary number was ported without any problems. However, T-mobile told me the request for porting is rejected by Global Crossing because there is another request. I contacted Viatalk by phone 2 times by waiting 3-hour each time. Viatalk confirmed that the porting has been canceled. I called T-mobile and let T-mobile know T-mobile is the only company with my authorization. From then, T-mobile has tried the porting requests a few times and all of them are rejected by the same reason. I've called, emailed and faxed Viatalk to ask them to make sure the porting has been canceled. It's been more than 3 weeks. I still don't get any luck. Global Crossing does not tell T-mobile what company is trying to port the number. The only thing T-mobile can do is to keep trying.
Does anyone know what I can solve this?

| said by DigitalPure :so TB did not do anything illegal in all reality it is the stupid carriers that messed this up. Some Sunrocket phone numbers are generating "please sign up with Teleblend" incoming announcements even on numbers where the customer has not signed anything with Teleblend.
Are you saying that it isn't Teleblend doing those announcements? Why is someone other than Teleblend asking callers to sign up with Teleblend? That doesn't make any sense to me. | |

| Re: Sunrocket stealing numbers back?? Riddle me this Batmen. How do I have incoming calls registering at the same time on my SR and Net2Phone accounts at the same time. Same number, exact same minute. My number ported Tues. and this happened yesterday. Looks like about 6 calls were affected. They show up as missed calls in SR but were answered here. Very Weird. | |
