Re: Teleblend Cancelled my Account???
said by lcmsd  :It is very interesting to hear that all carrier required customer who ported out to call. With my limited experience, none of my old carrier did. The only carriers that will get notification of the port out are CLEC's as they actually own the number, and so they know when it is out of the revnue stream. Most VoIP providers only have the numbers pointed at their servers, and therefore they do not own the numbers.
Also, the rules spelled out by the NPAC and FCC state that you must keep your old service active, and then notify them that you are canceling your service once your port is active. All the major VoIP providers follow the same guidelines. This is easily confirmed by looking at Vonage, Packet8, viaTalk terms of porting.

I have a slightly different situation. I am porting my signature number and keeping my main number. Do I need to notify Teleblend to stop charging for the signature number? |

The OP asked if it was necessary to start bugging (his expression) TB in order to cancel his service after he was ported away.
My answer was that yes, it was necessary or he would continue to be billed. What is the difference between my answer and yours? |

Once you have confirmed with your outgoing service provider that your line has been moved, you will need to call us in order to cancel your account. |

Thanks Teleblendguy. I reset the gizmo last night and everything is working fine. I do have to setup VM and blocked numbers again but that isn't a problem. I could see from the incoming call logs that service was restored around 9AM yesterday which was outstanding! Certainly there was a problem here in that I did not ask for my account to be canceled but for all those who bash TB's customer support I think that since I reported it around 9PM and it was fixed by 9AM the next day - I am at least happy with that! Maybe I am just easy to please. YMMV. |

said by KoolMoe :Don't overstress 'we are not SR' too much. I get the point and the distinction is made. But, your group obviously did just take over the hardware. Discussions on that are lengthy and pretty much proved. Heck, even clicking the Teleblend link once logged-into the members page results in the SR termination notice. Which is, in itself, just kinda funny. A sincere thank you for your replies. KM The only reason that I still stress it, is that people still think that we are just sunrocket with a new name. As people have pointed out we bought some of the hardware from a dead company. In my opinion that is a good business move, to get the same thing for a cheaper price on auction. I am sure that more hardware went to many other companies als.
Anyway, glad you got the info, and let me know if there is anything else I can help with.

You should have 'auto-payment is required as part of terms and conditions' on that page. I'm pretty good at reading such term writeups but apparently missed that line item.
But I do thank you for at least providing the answer. As long as it is part of the terms of service and folks know that, cool by me.
And thanks also on clarifying the link. I only knew of the teleblend URL and couldn't find a way to manage the services. I only found that capability going through SR's old site (which now throws up a couple 'expired cert' errors). It wasn't terribly annoying...more, just, kinda lame.
I checked the other method. I first see, I think, the same page as just teleblend.com, but clicking Member Login does then show another login page at members.teleblend.com
Unsurprisingly, my SR login works and it takes me to the SR feature page, which is now rebranded Teleblend.
So I can do some bookmark updating that's at least a bit more...refined.

You do not need to start on the sunrocket site. If you go to »myteleblend.net there is a login at the top right directly into the member portal.

It's actually www.myteleblend.net. And I just realized that login is not the same as member login. Login lets you view invoices, track tickets and other activities related to your account. Member login takes you to the portal that allows you to manage your service, voice mail and other features. I had been using sunrocket.com to get to the portal.

said by KoolMoe :TBguy, any response to why: 1. Our accounts were all changed back to auto-payment without our approval? 2. Why it's taking so long to merge the SR services into your own website...and what the potential roadmap may be? Thanks, KM I will only make this statement. Auto-payment is part of the terms and conditions. So, it should never have been turned off in the first place.
2. What features are you reffering to. We are NOT sunrocket in anyway. If you can be more specific about what features are missing I can address that.
Remember that Teleblend does NOT equal SunRocket. We offer a similar feature set. We offer one of the best pricing models in the industry. We understand that there are currently bumps in the road, but all companies have these bumps. We are working on them, and we welcome your input.

They closed it because they thought I asked them too. I don't see how that could have happened as I never did but their records stated that the account was closed on September 28 - they actually refunded a month of service on the 29th and I never did see a bill for October which should have raised a flag but I didn't call because the phone was working great. 
They sent my ticket to a "supervisor" and said it should be back on in 24-48 hours and to call back if it was not. I'll keep my fingers crossed. I see a ticket and it is still actually open.
Some questions I think about are:
1. Why did they think my account was asked to be closed and why did I never get any type of confirmation from them that it was closed or would be closed?
3. If it was canceled on 9/28 why did everything work until 11/12? That was 1 1/2 months of free service. |
