First impression not good

Great report, and it sounds like progress. I expect that support will get those details worked out.

As a new VOIPo user, you would not know that outgoing calls on a temporary number, with some simple steps, could have sent the CID of the number yet to be ported. Of course that is a moot point now.

And, another moot point ... and if your previous service offered call-forwarding you could forward that to your VOIPo temporary number. Bottom line (hopefully, it'll benefit others - and this is what we should tell our friends when recommending ANY VOIP provider). Use the phone for outgoing (setting caller ID like VOIPo lets you, if the provider has that feature) and forward incoming to the temporary number. If you cannot forward incoming, at least use the temporary number for family incoming calls (assuming you're not single). Make sure any kinks are worked out and you're happy with the service, before ordering your port.
