Re: [VoicePulse] Warns Stranded VoIP Consumers of Predatory Poli
Some companies are more solid and more expensive. The SR refugees where looking at price.
If Voicepulse or others had gotten the same influx of customers they may have crashed also on support.
Some like Vonage have enough of everything. Adapters everywhere. So cheap people buy them and try and unlock them. Vonage may end up with other financial problems. Just too much of everything.
There is a balance between too little and too much. Right now the SR collapse just put a strain on the too little side. The too much side comes when they do not have enough customers to foot the bills.
Plus on the porting side even the likes of Level3 or Global probably are not set up for hundreds of thousands of ports on top of the normal day to day stuff. |

Every other provider has no problems fulfilling orders in one business day using a temporary number and then assigning the ported one when it's ready. People expect Level3 to take 30 days to port the number, they don't expect you to take 30 days to tape up a box. |

I was talking about number porting.... hence the quote in my post, and the actual specific comment that you even quoted. I have a fairly good view of what goes on behind the scenes when it comes to dealing with L3 and porting, along with everything else.

I tried for a couple weeks to get Viatalk to port my number and they hadn't even submitted it. I then switched to Net2Phone and the port was done in one day. My number was already existing on L3. |
