[Asterisk-Users] Sixtel.net / IAX.CC - Vanity Toll-Free Number

2005-02-15 Thread Rob Risner








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?

Same boat here.

Actually got someone on AOL instant messenger yesterday.  Their
response as follows when asked how long it will take to get our 800
number:

[15:11] sixtel9: it's in the works 

any time frame?
[15:14] sixtel9: not specifically, we switched carriers so we're
dealing w/ some issues

just need to know if it will be weeks/months/ or days
[15:21] sixtel9: days

 I've had the same experience. I've been waiting 7+ business days for
their unlimited incoming minutes DIDs which were supposed to be
provisioned within 1-4 hours.

Well let me tell you one thing about that, whenever a VOIP provider 
runs out of DIDs in their pool, it can take days. I had the same 
problem with Voicepulse several weeks ago where I ordered two DIDs in 
the same exchange. Got the first number immediately but the second one 
took somewhere between 4 to 6 weeks.

Come to think of it, the exact same problem happened to me with 
Broadvox almost exactly one year earlier.

Sam thing here. Waiting 10+ business days for my DID. Can't get
through to them by phone and email responses take days.

These guys are worthless.

Did you get any notice from them on the DID?
The dropdown for unlimited use DIDs only gives a choice for Area Code. 
Have you had any communication with them on the actual prefix you wanted?

After clicking the button myself, I eventually found out that they 
couldn't give me a DID that was local to me.

I had one other ticket open that now seems to be MIA. I'll not be using 
them for anything real important.

There doesn't seem to be a business in the market that one could rely on.

I've used them too and got absolutely nothing from them. My e-mails
hardly ever get responses and when they do respond, it's usually a
one-liner that evades the question. Stay as far away as you can from
Sixtel / IAX.cc. I think a BBB complaint about them should be made.

Mohit.

Andrew,
There _are_ businesses in the market that one can rely upon.  This 
discussion is most appropriate for the *-biz list, which regularly 
discusses the reliability of providers.
