Depends on Level3 and your reseller and how they feel. They might allow them to port it, but ultimately that would be your fault for failing to have a backup net admin, or someone else in your company who knows how things work.You would probably end up leaving the users in Telecom Limbo. On

That's probably true. A company with 2 million customers won't just vanish. But that's an interesting question. I have a few VoIP customers (less than 100), and a handful of them did port numbers here from Verizon. Suppose I get hit by a bus tomorrow. What happens to their phone numbers? My c

Vonage are not going anywhere people. This running for the hills is just crap. Spend the time an energy porting the number away if you like but you're wasting your time they will be around for a lot longer still. Regards, Dean Collins Cognation Pty Ltd [EMAIL PROTECTED] +1-212-203-4357 Ph +61
