Re: Verizon number ported to Vonage took me 4ever

A lot of people don't WANT a new number, which is why the LNP law was passed in the first place.

Say you've had your home phone number for 20+ years. You want to switch to VoIP, do you think you'd want to change your number? If you did, you would have done it anyway.

Changing your number can be a hassle, telling all your friends and family who already have it memorized, etc.

And as far as annoying calls goes, last time I got a new number, I got calls for over a year for a guy who had the number before I got it.

And with the "do not call" thing, you don't get many telemarketers now anyway.
