A few minutes later, I got a call from someone named Nancy who said

The same thing happened to me. I ported my number away and Vonage didn't notice. For many months the only effect was that Vonage users couldn't call me, but they eventually reissued it to a college student nearby and I got some rather perplexed calls from her father.
I happen to know a Vonage board member, and a note to him got it fixed in about 12 seconds, but we're not all so lucky.
