thanks to everyone for the GREAT feedback. I have ordered VOIPo service and received a telephone adapter and a temp (virtual) # I guess.

I have been very disappointed it the porting process. We are coming up on 3 weeks and still no porting. My paperwork was OK according to support but I have no real reason why the process is not complete. I ported one of my T-Mobile cell #s to another service in ONE DAY but perhaps land lines are different. The extended time is much less important than losing the number so I will wait. It just seems like a "soft" beginning with VOIPo as my new provider. I hope the telephone performance is better than the speed of the porting process
