netTALK.COM Inc recently announced that it will now support local number portability, which means that customers in the U.S. will have the option to keep their existing landline phone number when switching from services provided by wireline carriers across the nation.
In a release, Anastasios “Takis” Kyriakides, President and CEO of netTALK, said “Keeping your own number is a pivotal development for netTALK. We consistently find that the number porting feature is a non-negotiable feature that businesses and consumers want, as they are ready to fire their phone company and save money, but didn’t want to lose long-established phone numbers that they’ve invested in advertising among their friends, customers and colleagues. We trademarked ‘Fire Your Phone (News - Alert) Company’ for a reason, and we remain committed to making it easier, more affordable and rewarding for consumers to make the switch.”
Cedric Guillory, Senior Director of Marketing, said, “The phenomena of cord-cutting proves to be a consumer trend in its earliest stages as consumers seek financial relief and more compelling choices in the marketplace. netTALK is well-poised to gain substantial market share as we continue to expand our distribution and see further proliferation of our innovative products and offerings.”
