Top 3 Ways to Keep Your Phone Numbers for Life

NumberGarage.com's solution may seem basic, that is the intent of the company – to solve a common problem with a straight-forward solution.

NumberGarage.com was formed so consumers could hold onto their phone numbers for life – even if they need to end service on a line. Here’s a couple examples of why you might use NumberGarage:

1. Let’s say you move cities and decide/need to get a new, local cell phone number. You can subscribe to NumberGarage (for a nominal monthly fee) and NumberGarage will store your old phone number and forward all calls made to that number to your new phone. NumberGarage lets you keep a phone number even if you cancel your phone line or service. This way, you don’t need to update all of your old contacts of your new number – they dial the number they know and the call is forwarded to you.
2. Or, maybe you want to stop paying for your landline, but don’t want to loose those incoming calls. You can use NumberGarage to “cut the cord” – without loosing any contacts as landline calls are forwarded to your cell line. Landline operators don’t offer this kind of forwarding service.
3. Or, maybe you need to temporarily move out of your home to do a remodeling project. Landline operators do not offer a solution for short-term number porting. Again, you can subscribe to NumberGarage to have your home calls forwarded to another number, such as your office line or work number.

How do they Do It?

The technology used in porting a telephone number is Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). NumberGarage is the brainchild of the CEO of Freedom Communications, and an entrepreneurial friend of his from childhood. They are leveraging the company’s VoIP services to “Park” a number or “Forward” for call forwarding.
