I just signed up for VOIPo yesterday from Vonage! I've had Vonage for 5 years and while I was satisfied with them, I just couldn't pass up the cost savings for VOIPO :)
I am curious to know what has been the average time it has taken for Vonage to give up their number to VOIPO for porting. Are there any ex-Vonagers out there who brought their number with them that can share their number porting experience?
Anywhere from 7-72 days (I think I may be wrong)
If Lingo to VOIPo averages 10 days now ... Vonage should be painless

The good news:
My 2 Vonage lines took 9 days from when I submitted it to Voipo until it was completed. I understand it's even quicker now.
The bad news:
My $39.95 per line cancellation fee from Vonage was even quicker! (Which I disputed through my AMEX card and received an immediate refund from Amex).
I too am porting over from Vonage after 5 years. Their service has been excellent for me and provided big savings over AT&T land lines. But, likewise for me, the cost savings with VOIPo is too good to pass up.Quote:

I'm wondering if I'll still have access to the Vonage dashboard after the port?
And if the Vonage Linksys box has any value?
The box would have value maybe $20-$30 on ebay. Try to reset/unlock it you could probly do it easily. I know its not hard to do.
It's been quite a while since I had Vonage, but...
Unlocking your box may not be so easy. If you want to try, do a google search for your ATA's model and 'unlock'. If you are unable to unlock it, it won't have any value on eBay. From what I've seen the $20-30 value is for an unlocked (used) unit.
Yes, after 5 years there is no fee. In my case it was 2 years and I left after a year. Now it is back to 1 year. You'll have access to only your billing for a while. The box is useless unless it was one of the router models, then it could still be a router. If you sell it they won't activate it for the person you sell it to so don't even bother unless the buyer is aware.Quote:

FYI - It appears the any incoming with the same area code appear as only 7 digits. Is there a setting on the vpanel to change the display to 10 digits for all calls?
