Hi,
I'm seeking to change my service provider (after ten months, I've had it
with broadvoice), but I would like to keep my 310 number. I've been
digging through the lists of other providers and am considering telasip
(good plans and support number transfers).
My concern is what precisely happens when a number is transferred from
one service provider to another. After the transfer is complete, when
someone dials my number, will it go to broadvoice's servers/routers
initially, and get bounced over to telasip? This would be much less than
ideal, because I would not be escaping my outage problem. Or does a
transferred line truly go straight to telasip, never seeing broadvoice's
servers again. This is the solution I want, but I don't know how it
works.
The reason I ask is because I know with cell phones, having a number
transferred results in a situation where the number initially terminates
with the old provider, but then gets bounced (which can and does cause
horrible call routing problems). I'd like to know what happens in this
case before I pay for a number transfer that won't do me any good.
Thanks in advance,
Paul
