Ooma Porting from Comcast
Posted: Thu Sep 12, 2019 2:41 pm
TLDR: mainly just looking at people who have ported from Comcast and what the experience was like
Hello, So I've had Ooma since like 2011 and have been very happy with it. I now have an old neighbor I have since moved so don't live by him anymore. Anyways he was given an Ooma Telo from some family members or something and was thinking about making the switch. He currently has Comcast for everything and he was worried as he was reading that porting could take 3-4 weeks. I told him that I guess it could take that long but I would suspect that it would take 10 days or less. Anyways his home number is the only number he gives out and asked me if there was anything I could do to speed up the porting process as he doesn't want to be without that number if he can help it. I said there is nothing I can do on that front so my question is as I can't remember but when you port I know they give you a temp number but I am assuming his number that he currently has will just be dead for however long it takes to port correct? Also what happens on Comcast ends as he has the Triple Play from Comcast so phone TV and internet so if he ports over what happens with his phone on Comcast like now that his number is gone will he just be given a new number from comcast? I never ported from Comcast we had AT&T landline back then and it was only phone. Anyways mainly just looking at people who have ported from Comcast and what the experience was like as he just wants to not be without that number for an extended period of time. He does have a cell phone but he must not give that number out to many people or something.
Sorry for ranting on
Thanks
