VOIP Question

What happens to the telephone numbers that were ported if a VOIP provider goes out of business?

Do they have to notify customers and allow them to switch carriers?

[TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: Well I can tell you AT&T would be very derelict if they failed to hustle these new (and probably old, very long time ago) customers. I do know that in the case of Prairie Stream Telecom, when that company went out of business, Southwestern Bell (or by that point in time, AT&T) sent lots -- and I mean a lot -- of junk mail out inviting all of us to rejoin the fold once again, and telling us they would be 'so pleased' to welcome us back. So pleased, in fact, that they would give us each fifty dollar VISA gift cards to show their pleasure. Prairie Stream recommended Sage as their replacement so I took them instead of going back to the 'new' AT&T. I am sure the VOIP provider has to tell other carriers so the other carriers can try and pitch to the left over customers. PAT]
