Portsmouth, NH | This is the 1st thread that I notice anyone saying that TB ported their #. Too bad it seems to be an unwanted port. |

In the old days, this was called 'slamming' and is most assuredly illegal, if true.. |

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?

said by dmolavi: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? 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? |

| 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. |

4 edits | I ported two numbers away from TB on 8/3. According to Nuvio, my numbers were snapped back by TB shortly afterward. Nuvio challenged the taking back of one number and was able to reclaim it. I later began a new port of the second number with Net2Phone and that number transferred on 9/10. |
