Dear Jeff Tangen,

Congratulations!  Your existing phone number {my home phone number} has been transferred to Vonage, the
award winning Internet phone company.

As you can see, the phone number was successfully ported over… so I thought…

On Thursday night, I made my normal phone calls – to my kids and to Lisa.   When I talked to Lisa, she said that the caller ID came up as someone else, not my name.   Upon further review, it was some Michelle something er nuther…  My mom ended up attempting to call me around the same time and talked to Michelle and she told my mom that she just got the phone number the day before.

Called Vonage and opened up a support ticket with them.   The support ticket number is *****443.   The person that I talked to said that the port may not have came over successful.   With some initial troubleshooting on his end, he found out that the phone number was now on Sprint.   He said that he would have to escalate it to an engineer and someone would be getting a hold of me in 24 to 48 hours.
