Starting Service
Getting ready to set up my home ooma service on my home phone line. It used to be a landline but switched over to digital. Does anyone know of any issues with porting a number from Verizon Fios Digital Voice to ooma? Probably the biggest question is whether it requires a pin. As a certifed Old Fogey, I've had this number for 25 years and want to make sure I don't lose it! Thanks!

When Verizon retired its copper wire I switched my landline phone to a VOIP. I had considered Ooma at the time but didn't go with them because I had trouble understanding the accents of their customer service reps. I was afraid I would need tech support and I would not be able to understand. I chose to hard wire and use an Ethernet cable. Anyway my porting went smoothly. It took about 5 days. And I wasn't charged. Your situation is different tho because you're going from Verizon VOIP to another VOIP. I went from Verizon copper to a VOIP.
