Office move, temporary forwarding until the new line is up.

Often there is a gap between cancelling the old line and the new line being live. Forwarding through the current provider to mobile or a temporary VoIP number bridges it without notice cards.

Try this first

  1. 1Enable forwarding at the current provider to mobile or VoIP for the transition window.
  2. 2Only cancel the line once the new line plus number porting is successful.
  3. 3Do not pre-announce a 'new number' to customers, that creates errors and three live numbers.
  4. 4Tweak voicemail briefly: 'we are moving, we will call back today'.

When to bring us in

Internet at the new site is delayed: 4G router for temporary VoIP, fine for a week, not for months.
