[Asterisk-Users] Semi-OT: porting numbers away

[Kerry Garrison]

-- Personal opinion alert --
 
Do not route everything to an ITSP. At minimum keep a main PSTN line with
call forwarding or call forwarding on busy until you are 10000% confident
that the service works, is reliable, stable, and will have some staying
power.

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Semi-OT: porting numbers away



I'm looking to move one of my clients to an Asterisk system and a VoIP
provider (Teliax, Voxee, ViaTalk, Voicepulse).  My concern is porting my
client's numbers to a VoIP provider.  Let's say we get all their numbers
ported to Teliax (or Voxee or viatalk, etc.), everything is peachy for a
year, then Teliax gets sued for some reason or another, and goes bankrupt
and closes its doors.  That, obviously, leaves my clients without phone
service.but what happens to their numbers?  If the VoIP provider goes out of
business, can I go to another VoIP provider or a ma bell and transfer the
numbers to them even if Teliax (or whomever) is unreachable and off the map?

 

Thanks in advance for any info!
