LNP Polka
Recently signed up for Vonage "phone" service, aka VOIP. Real happy with the service. So far so good. Except...... Decided to keep our old number cause you can do that now thanks to that there Local Number Portability rule and it seemed like a good plan. Guess my friends at Qwest don't wanna give it up. Vonage said expect this to take at least 20 business days. Tomorrow is the magical day 20 and the number hasn't ported yet. Paying two phone bills now. Asked Vonage if calling Qwest and letting 'em have it would help. They said no, other customers who have done this have had their numbers "accidentally" disconnected which just makes the whole thing take longer. Turns out the FCC thinks this process should only take a couple days. Guess it is time to file a complaint. I'm just simple folk, but in my book paying two phone bills for no reason is worse than seeing Janet's nipple.
