Re: TeleblendI loved the message screener that it worked like answering machine. I could get my messages without logging into the website using the message screener. I liked that I could log into the website and I could block phone numbers. I had a NC line and OH line, and I could switch to the NC line on the website and do click to call and the caller ID would show the NC phone number. I liked I controlled what the caller id said. The service just worked for me.. I didn't need customer service. To my knowledge NO other company offers these features. It was all about the features and convenience for me. I wish you well...  |

Re: Quick Post to Voiposaid by VOIPoTim:said by TimM :Awesome! Sound like you are doing everything you can. Thanks, we always try to provide good service for our users and in this case we understand that having a number not working is a big deal. On a positive note, we're already starting to get confirmation of number transfer dates for many Teleblend customers so most of them seem to be going through and accepted. Most are coming back with confirmed transfer dates of a few business days from now. Also for anyone transferring, we can most likely port without your bill copy/screenshot so don't worry if you can't get one due to their site being down. Just send us the form we send you and we'll submit with just that. This is awesome! Just signed up with you guys. Thanks for taking care of us! |

That's good to hear. ----- Regarding TeleBlend and their many names (such as USA Telecom etc), whether this is "the end" OR if it is just a long outage, if they have not yet reported the situation to the FCC they are in serious violation. I hope that the affected customers file FCC complaints, a bunch of complaints coming in at the same time will hopefully get their attention. Maybe the feds can go after the company principals who had no principles. |

Re: Teleblend- it was cheapest (at first) with great features and it worked (att did not) - it was consistent, and new companies were unknown or more expensive. - We were unable to verify portage of our number in past checks. - We don't like to spend time researching companies for our phone, we really don't like phones except for necessity. So that's a few reasons, but not all good, we really don't like phone calls much, but we need them. Also don't like a cell phone tethered to my pocket. Hope that gives you a little explanation of why |

VOIPO ROCKS. I'm a sad Teleblend sucker, before that Sunrocket, before that Packet 8. 20+ years of real crap. Just signed up for two years of VOIPO. Small money for great service! Sooooo impressed when I called their customer support. Super fast. happy and REALLY HELPFUL VOIPO folks. Call them and just ask questions. Happy, helpful customer support, means concerned management. I'm in!
Who cares if Teleblend comes back...Teleblah, blah, blah..... |

Quick, Teleblend is suddenly back up. Just made a call. Sign up for new service with a proper voip provider, BUT DO NOT CANCEL TELEBLEND SERVICE UNTIL YOUR NUMBER HAS BEEN PORTED !!!!!!! Log into your Teleblend account and download your most recent statement. Your new voip provider will need this statement to help with porting. |

Re: Advice for saving your DIDsaid by 79176722:The law/FCC should require VoIP companies to hold some large amount of money in escrow ($20/user?) to protect customers when these kind of things happen. You want your escrow money back? You exit the biz like a human being. You don't do that -- some org will use that funding to help your poor customers find a new home. This isn't required - even if your VOIP provider goes out of business, the underlying carriers still allow port outs even months later, so as long as the provider doesn't do something incredibly stupid like cancel the numbers - all users will be able to port out anyway. Carriers are not allowed to prevent ports because they are owed money - they can only prevent them if the number has been specifically cancelled. In a typical scenario the VOIP provider will stop operating long before the carrier cancels their account. I've never heard of anyone (who wanted to) not being able to port out of a provider going out of business. |

Annual Plans and Robo CallsHi Jerry!
. Well maybe Teleblend is not going out of business, but I woke up suspicious this morning.
. I don't know if you have an annual plan, do you? You have been with them so long you may have a great deal on a monthly plan. For those of us on an annual plan you had to be aware of it, because when the year was up, they never notified me, just switched me to the more expensive monthly plan.
. I wonder why they are switching billing dates if they are headed out of business. Anyway, my annual renewal was due next month. So they messed things up just in time for me to get out.
. One thing nice about switching to Voipo, which you recommended, is that Voipo lets us use NoMoRobo, which eliminates Robo Sales Calls to your phone. www.nomorobo.com Teleblend would not set themselves up to work with that. NoMoRobo will screen out robocalls from their list of reported numbers, and has a method to verify if it is actually a live person calling.
. For the rest of you. Here is how to get your statements for porting:
Go to www.teleblend.com
Hover the pointer over "Members Portal" in the top right corner.
Click on the FIRST option "Manage Your Billing" and sign in.
In the top left corner hover over "View & Pay Bills" and click on "Statements"
Next to the top statement click on "Options" on the far right then click on "Download as PDF" that appears right next to it.
Send the statement to your new VOIP company with your port form. |

Re: TeleblendI have read many horror stories about teleblend charging your credit card without permission. That seems to be the #1 complaint against them on websites like the ripoff report.
The great thing about Voipo is you can use PayPal. That way Voipo never gets your credit card info and every transaction must be authorized by you in order for PayPal to release the money. |

Be aware that some companies may get your permission to take money out of your PayPal account without explicit authorization for each transaction. It's called "preapproved payments". Every month I log-into my PayPal and make sure I clean that list: ***Settings / Profile / Account | Preapproved payments -- cancel all active ones!*** I'm pretty sure if you go there right now, you'll find a few surprise listings... |

I'm not surprised to see the TB site up right now, and as I said earlier, I don't think it changes much of anything. From "Monty Python and the Holy Grail": The Dead Collector: Bring out yer dead.
Large Man: Here's one.
The Dead Collector: That'll be ninepence.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I'm not dead.
The Dead Collector: What?
Large Man: Nothing. There's your ninepence.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I'm not dead.
The Dead Collector: 'Ere, he says he's not dead.
Large Man: Yes he is.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I'm not.
The Dead Collector: He isn't.
Large Man: Well, he will be soon, he's very ill.... |

Same here. My husband just mentioned that he received an out of service message when calling our business phone the other day. I just checked all of our phone lines and they are all out! I was able to log into the website and noticed they billed our service on 3/8 (early) and we haven't received any calls since then. The support page is down and their phone is disconnected. Their home page has a message that they are experiencing service outages and are working on it. I need to port 4 numbers for various businesses. It looks like they are out of business, but I couldn't find any news stories.
Any recommendations re best service for my needs. I have several businesses that each need an incoming line with a separate voicemail box. Ideally, a couple of those would allow for multiple mailboxes on a line. We use mobile primarily, so don't call out much on these lines, it's more for incoming messaging. (and our Teleblend box/phones weren't working properly for outgoing.) I need to be able to receive emails with a recording of each call I can archive, and love an email transcription, too. I need the voicemail boxes to be able to hold a good number of calls before I delete them. And, ideally, I want to be able to manage all the numbers with one account login.Looking for lowest price with best options. I had started looking around when our annual contract expired, but got sidetracked.
Thanks for any recommendations! |

The service just worked for me.. I didn't need customer service. To my knowledge NO other company offers these features. It was all about the features and convenience for me. Absolutely not true!! Most all of the other popular providers discussed in this Forum have most if not all of the features you mention ... and more. Voip.ms and Anveo would meet practically every one of the criteria you mentioned ... and each offers many more features you have probably never thought of. CallCentric, VOIPo, Future-Nine, PhonePower offer more features, better service and more reliability than Teleblend ... without the surprise of fee gouging implementation exhibited by TB. Why do think Teleblend has been rarely brought up in this Forum ... except for the once in a while poster who bemoans his/her negative experience with TB? |
