Well folks, I am very sad to report that I am porting my Voipo number to Verizon Wireless. Now let me explain.

I used to work for a mega company who paid for my voip, my cell, my internet access, my groceries and gave me a company car, but that is no longer the case.

I did find work after being out for 45 days but I have a new job now with a greatly reduced income. From a budgetary standpoint, something had to give. This is not the only thing I am cutting back on.

I have a very close relative who works for Verizon Wireless and I am putting my number on one of their devices which we will get for free, so economics dictates that I must make this move.

I have to go on record and say how much fun it has been testing the product, being part of the rollout etc.
I will continue to be an advocate for Voipo and leave with a very positive feeling about the service and the way I was treated.

I am writing this early before my port goes through since I would anticipate being cut-off from the forums once my account de-activates. My 911 information is already blank in Vpanel so I anticipate a momentary cutoff.

If there is anything I can do to ever help all of you in this community, I am listed at DSL reports as user: NY TEL.

Thanks to all, and thanks Tim for the expereince, it has been a good one.;)

Certainly understandable...sorry to hear about your situation..

I'm certain we will miss you as you added so much to the service.

Best of Luck....

burrisWell nothing is forever and that's the way I look at it. Reminds me of the movie "Fun with Dick and Jane" when they lose their jobs and the landscaper is outside rolling up and re-possessing the sod on the front lawn.
Not quite that bad here but it is a humbling experience none-the-less.
Thanks.

Oh I'll be OK, I am a survivor. I was born and raised in New York City. It's going to take a lot more than some evil company to stop me. I always have Plan A, B, C and D.

I'll admit if I ever have to get to plan D, It's time to worry.......
I'm still on plan B.

But thanks for your kind message.

See you on DSLR and good luck!

I am also in the unemployment category.
I am seriously looking at getting an Associate's Degree through
Michigan's No Worker Left Behind retraining program.

26.5 years, and now to reboot my career.
