When I went to Primus VOiP I was coming from a wireless carrier (Telus) so they were not able to convert my number - their offer to convert your old number was contingent on it being from a telco/land-line.
Still, they were not going to charge me for the service and it certainly wasn't going to take a month.
Is the temporary number actually unusable/non-functional or just a royal pain in the, er, neck?

Don?t know if this is the correct forum for this?.deals with VOIP. Was going to sign-up for service with ACN (acndigital.com). I requested that they port my current phone number from AT&T. They were going to give me a temp number (no choice to refuse) until the porting was completed (30+ days). I have absolutely no use for the temp number since everyone knows my current number ? have had for over 30 years. Here?s the rub?ACN wanted to charge me the monthy usage for the unusable temp number. In the meantime I?d need to continue paying AT&T for my current number. To me, this double charging is a ripoff and I?d be paying ACN for service I couldn?t use. Is this an industry standard or is ACN the only VOIP rippin? us off? If so, your monthly savings could be eaten up in the first month. Comments, please?
