Porting a number out of Ooma
Ooma seems nice. I like my unit and am very pleased with the quality of the product. The audio quality of calls is amazing.
I'm concerned about what will happen if there is ever a need or desire to port my number out from Ooma.
Is there a charge to port out?
Is the number still in my name once ported in to Ooma?
Once ported out, can I get a new number assigned from Ooma?

Ooma shouldn't charge you anything to port out, however, the provider you're porting to may (or may not) have a fee to port the number in.
The number should always be in your name no matter where you port it to/from.
You should be able to get a new number assigned from ooma if you port out. Most companies will automatically cancel your account/service once a port occurs, so you'd probably need to contact ooma before you start the porting process to let them know you want to keep your service and be assigned a new number.
