Can I try it out and then decide to port my number in ? How would that work ?

Yes, it actually is a great idea to test it for several days to 2 weeks before porting your number. YOu might have the same problem that I had, spotty calls and dropped calls. They had to remote access my computer to reconfigure the duo and has so far worked well with little to none of the old problems. Once you port your old number, you can kiss it goodbye if you decided that you do not like the duo. It took 10 days for me to have my number ported. Assurance? None, they can always jack it up, but so far, they have not for the past 2 years...so maybe not. Besides, magic jack is catching up when it comes to "quality" of the calls, so that should keep their prices down...

I am sure you will be able to, but just wait till it comes to find out if it will work or not. If not then let me know.

I would think so; porting your number should be an option. You can check with AT&T; rep to make sure, but I believe all phone carriers are required by law to support number portability.

When you activate your account, you will be assigned a number. After that, if you want, you should be able to transfer an existing number if you wish.

YOU HAVE TO KEEP YOUR OLD PHONE SERVICE ACTIVE UNTIL THE NUMBER IS PORTED! I know that this makes no sense-- that you have to have two active phone lines, but only have one phone or phone system. It's not the way it has worked for me with other portings. But trust me on this. Keep paying your old company for the phone line until it's ported.

Yes the screen moves up and down with just a touch of your finger. Yes, you can switch your old number and you can do it on line at net10.com

Yes, you can. It actually has you set up a Google account or connect a current one with the phone.

Check on AT &T;'s site to see if you can port your number. There is a field where you type in your number and get an immediate answer. You can check before you purchase the phone. I was able to port mine with no trouble at all. You do need to activate the new phone before porting the number, so don't get rid of your current carrier before porting.

I'm not sure but don't really see why not. You can try it and if it works, it IS going to be cheap. I pay 2 cents/minute to call Europe and the ports of call you mention are much closer to the States. Hope you'll be successful.

Keep your present service. Once Ooma notifies you that your number is now ported, you then cancel your existing phone service. Some recommend defaulting to using your mobile phone but I just kept my old service until number was ported. It worked out just fine. Hope this helps .

Yes you can , they call it porting. But OOma states: Please note that it takes an average of three to four weeks to complete the porting process. Number porting is supported in most calling areas

You can definitely port numbers to VoIP services that support porting. Services such as Callcentric, Voip.ms and FutureNine all support porting landline and mobile numbers to their services.Today, Google Voice will only port mobile numbers to their service. Therefore, you will need to port your Vonage number to a mobile service and then port it to GV.See the user forum at the Obihai web site for more details on porting.

You simply port your number over to it or they will give you a new number when sign up for google voice and then they can call you. You can also use the Obi on lots of other Voip services as well.

Yes, as long as you do not cancel your service for the # you want to port. Once you cancel the service the phone co gets the number. I kept my number and tested Ooma with one of their numbers. When I decided Ooma was great, I let Ooma do the porting of my old number for me. They ported my old number and cancelled my service with my old phone co. All I had to do was let Ooma know. It was easy. BUT REMEMBER - you must have an active phone service number to port.

In most cases, yes. I live in NJ and had a long existing business/home number. Verizon was able to port it over to Ooma without any problem, but only Ooma customer service can give you a definitive answer. I think that they warn you that there are occasionally SOME numbers that cannot be ported for one reason or another.
