That where all of us VoIP/LNP types hang out...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Services-ATT-phone-service-question-27813900 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 12:18:46 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Services-ATT-phone-service-question-27813184
Does ATT offer a similar call-forwarding option ? I know for landlines they do. Was it called "trunk" something ?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Services-ATT-phone-service-question-27813184 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 09:30:19 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Services-ATT-phone-service-question-27812758 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Services-ATT-phone-service-question-27812758 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 07:28:19 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Services-ATT-phone-service-question-27812376 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Services-ATT-phone-service-question-27812376 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 00:12:58 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Services-ATT-phone-service-question-27811761
I'll request this be moved... Do you mean the generic VOIP forum ? I don't see one under AT&T unless you meant U-Verse.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Services-ATT-phone-service-question-27811761 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 21:06:01 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Services-ATT-phone-service-question-27811062
Was your # originally from AT&T or Time Warner? That is, was your service from AT&T long ago, before being ported to TW? ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Services-ATT-phone-service-question-27811062 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 17:40:39 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Services-ATT-phone-service-question-27789873
What are the "rules" regarding porting a telephone number from one provider to another ? In our case (work), we currently have TWC biz-class service for phone and internet. We moved to a new location (same city, same zip, 1-2 miles distance) and when we set up the transfer, the rep didn't advise us that a new phone # was required due to us being a different "rate center". From there, it's been a total screw-up on TWC's part... All they can offer now is to keep our old number and pay for "remote call forwarding" each month.

So, my question is, what restrictions, if any, are there in regards to "porting" our number if we switch from TWC to ATT for local phone service ? Will ATT be unable to use the old number just like TWC because it's in a different rate center ?

I did call and get pricing for phone service and asked the phone rep and he quickly responded it wouldn't be a problem. When I asked him about U-Verse expansion, he launched into a script about ATT's 4G expansion plans... Makes me hesitant about believing him. Finally, I had made it clear that I just needed pricing but he pushed for our current phone # so he could "get this order placed".]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Services-ATT-phone-service-question-27789873 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 09:53:17 EDT
