asterisk users - Feb 2005 - Sixtel.net / IAX.CC - Vanity Toll-Free Number

How long does it take to get a vanity number? I signed up for an account,
pre-paid some money, and then placed a vanity number order. I did all of
that around Dec. 31st 2004. They said it would take 2-10 business days. It
is now Feb. 15th and still no vanity number. I've called them about a dozen
times and every time they tell me to keep calling the number to check it and
just wait. I'm about fed up with SixTel and their vanity number process. I
would recommend everyone to stay away from SixTel, for now. 

 

I'm just wondering, how long should a vanity number transfer really take?

No help here, just posting a "me too" to warn others.  Friday was 10
days
for me.  No happy to hear you've waited much longer with the same result. 
Can never raise them on the phone.  They take days to respond to the
ticket and are rather terse when they actually do.

Not pleased at all.

Were you requesting a new vanity number, or a transfer of an existing 
number?

If it's new, have you checked to see if the number is still listed as 
available?

google for vanity toll free number search
