| The Long Goodbye...
I cancelled them a few months ago because I wasn't using the service much. At that time I tried to port a simple-reach number to another provider. They wouldn't let it go (saying it was a feature), but would only let me port the primary number.
I wonder why they were so reluctant to give up the number, in that they probably knew that they're slowly discontinuing the service. |

| Simple reach, out of market numbers, virtual numbers, et-all, ... from what I've experienced, no provider lets go of those numbers. If you want that simple-reach number, convert it to an actual phone number on line two and then port it. When you get to your new provider, who will also have to port it as a "line" .. you can then ask them to make it a virtual number there.
It has nothing to do with their desire to discontinue their service. |

| Not true- virtual numbers are numbers just the same. As a provider it doesn't matter to us if the number being ported out is "virtual" or not. (read: they can be ported out)
AT&T is just pulling dirty tricks to avoid porting, which is arguably against FCC regulations.

I bet you're feeling vindicated now.. no? 
I wonder if they'll keep service for existing customers, or just scrap it altogether...

::Sigh:: No.. it's not true. I've had services with Vonage, Packet 8, Call Vantage, and ViaTalk, and NONE of them allow you to Port the virtual number away from them.
Please speak only about your service and stop interjecting it around here as a cheap way to get attention to your own service. The bottom line is, and I don't care if you have a tiny little voip service yourself, you're wrong.
Please do your home work here and, quite frankly, ignore my posts.
Read: they are NOT ported out - not as virtual numbers. |
