The word dead isn't too accurate. If you pronounced dead and were
buried while in a temporary coma, you'd see that. or not  :)

Nufone outgoing service has not been interrupted at all, at least not
for me. They have a new agreement with a different provider, I assume,
because I ordered a new 800 number from them a few days ago and it
works great. The old ones are being processed, I'm not sure what is
happening behind the scenes.

Support is important when you have a problem, but asking for support
when they've clearly said they won't be able to answer questions or
discuss this issue is more than optimistic.

Yes, many DIDs are down, and if you depend on them for your business,
you (no one in particular, anyone here) should definitely have backup
numbers. This said, you can't failover to new numbers in the current
situation AFAIK, you'd have to tell people the new number. This works
fine for us, but I know it won't for most people.

Nufone is not currently "dead" although I don't know whatthe future
will bring for them. I wish them the best, they're still better than
many other providers and I have tested at least 15.
