<title>Port date moved up???</title>

Hi All,

I'm working to port a few numbers to Vonage.   The port date is scheduled for 10/23.   My old carrier said someone from Vonage or Level 3 called, and requested the date be moved forward to 10/19.  So my old carrier did so, and disconnected the number on the 20th.

So now my old carrier says that Vonage has the number.  Vonage says that the number is in disconnect status, so there's nothing they can do.   

Does anyone have any suggestions, or know the magic words to talk to someone at Vonage who can do more than read the basic script?

Yes Focal which is also Broadwing is owned by Level 3 and is one of many Vonage partner carriers. However, since Focal is a CLEC, it resells DID's to companies like Vonage and many others without LEC status. So it is possible for other VoIP providers with numbers in a specific LATA to also be with Focal.

Depending upon who owns numbers in a LATA will determine which partner carrier is used and is one reason why Vonage and companies like Vonage may not be able to offer numbers is all NPA-NXX's since only an ILEC has numbers there. Without having a CLEC available, numbers for that NPA-NXX cannot be obtained. ILEC's like Verizon and AT&amp;amp;T are not going to partner with smaller VoIP providers and terminate calls to them.

Yes... Mine is odd too.  It says a local carrier in the area that does enterprise voice.

Interesting... when I look up my current Vonage residential number at tnid.org, it shows:

Current Telephone Company:
Focal Communications Corporation

Original Telephone Company:
Verizon New Jersey Inc.

Original Telephone Company Type:
Regional Bell Operating Company (RBOC)

Apparently, Focal is one of Vonage's partner companies?

You cannot just create or choose any number you want but you can change your number and upon changing your phone number, you are given 5 numbers to choose from in the location of your choice. This is done right from your web account.

Call Forwarding is rated and billed the same as a number directly dialed from your phone number. If the International number your forwarding to is included in the rate plan, then it would not cost you anything to forward to it. If it is a mobile number, make sure that mobile numbers are included in the country your forwarding to.

This number was ported away from Vonage in April 2008 and is no longer under the control of Vonage so therefore would be unable to be assigned to a Vonage customer.
