Portability probably won't work as the extensions are corporate property, like att, yahoo, etc. unlike phone numbers which are just numbers... Where we missed out was in not getting the USPostalService to develop a secure, (heck-yes I would pay for this service), email system which would have allowed us an email system with some reliability. If I had to pay a few cents for email which I knew would arrive safely, with no spam or infections attached, it would be worth it. Businesses such as financial institutions are now climbing the walls because they have no idea if monthly statements, trading confirmations, etc, are actually being received by their customers and customers have no idea which emails and statements might have gone missing. This issue with ATT is scary since they seem to be unable, after several months, to fix the problems and I am beginning to wonder if they even know what the problems are, or if their outsourced engineering groups are willing to admit how much they have bungled over the past few years. The SVP of tech for ATT should be fired! Accountability should be mandated. I'm thinking of going to small claims court and filing a claim for the lost business I've experienced. And bill them for my labor time to work around their lack of "warrant of usability" in a product they SELL us...
