Hi Dale. We're sorry to hear about the frustration with your current service provider. NumberBarn will gladly hold your number for as long as you'd like, and then work with you when you're ready to move it out. It's your number, and we want to make sure your number needs are met. Porting is always a tricky business, and sometimes may need a little grease to get it into our system or ported out, but we're happy to help however we can. Have you had a chance to review our pricing and plans: www.numberbarn.com/pricing? You can park your number for as little as $2/month, or use our forwarding plan for as little as $6/month. I invite you to verify that your number can port at www.numberbarn.com/basket, and send any other questions to support@numberbarn.com.
