Can I keep my existing phone number with Vonage?
Generally speaking, you don't have to lose your phone number
if you change phone companies. Vonage offers the option of keeping
your phone number across the country. To find out if you can
keep your existing phone number with Vonage service, simply enter
your area code and the first three numbers that follow into the
tool they've provided (on the Vonage "Availiability" page),
and you'll learn if you can transfer your number to Vonage.
How To Transfer Your Number To Vonage
Its easy. Just sign up and select the option to keep your existing
phone number. Then Vonage will send you the simple steps to start
the transfer process. And you can always transfer your number
later if you want to try out your Vonage service first.
Got DSL?
DSL subscribers have a special situation because you must keep
their existing phone numbers to maintain a high-speed connection
to Vonage. In this instance, we would suggest either transferring
your DSL service to another phone line with your current carrier,
or you can switch to Cable Internet instead of DSL. We work well
either way!
How Long Does it Take?
Transferring your number will take a minimum of 20 days once
you start the transfer process. But don't worry! During the number
transfer process, Vonage provides you a temporary number so that
you can begin to use our service and all its included features
immediately. Then, when your number is transferred, Vonage will
inform you via email and your number will be transferred seamlessly.
And you can track the progress of your request anytime by logging
into your web
account so you'll always know what's happening.
What Happens If Your Number Cannot Be Transferred?
If Vonage cannot transfer your number, you may choose to get
a new Vonage number in your area or elsewhere. Or, you may decide
to keep your existing phone number with minimal service and add
a Vonage number that will help you save on outgoing calls.
You Can Transfer Your Cell Phone Number Too
In late 2003, Federal legislation went into effect allowing
wireless phone customers to transfer their numbers. See the FCC's
official Wireless
Local Number Portability (WLNP) information site for more
on wireless number portability.
