With a hosted PBX like Virtual PBX®, completed calls are actually made up of two separate phone call segments, or "legs". The first leg is the call from your client or customer to our equipment. The second leg occurs when we make an outbound call from our equipment to your phone, wherever you choose to take your calls. Virtual PBX® only charges you for the incoming call, while the outbound call to your phone is free. As a result there is no "double-leg" billing. A careful review of your billing invoice will reveal that while the inbound and outbound legs of Continental US, Canada, and International calls are itemized separately, you are only charged for the inbound portion of your calls.
A careful review of your billing invoice will reveal that while the inbound and outbound legs of Continental US, Canada, and International calls are itemized separately, you are only charged for the inbound portion of your calls.
Each Virtual PBX® has one primary number, either toll-free or local, that is not charged as part of the initial system setup. Each additional number, either toll-free or local (also known as a DNIS) is charged at a rate of $10 per month.
To port your number over to Virtual PBX® you will need to fill out either a Toll-free LOA (Letter Of Agency) Form or a Local LOA Form. This form, once completed, serves as a record of transfer between your toll-free or local number carrier and Virtual PBX®.
To port a toll-free number to Virtual PBX®, please complete our online toll-free LOA form.
The toll-free LOA form can be accessed here.
To port a local number to Virtual PBX®, please download and complete the local LOA form.
The local LOA form can be downloaded here.
In either case, you will receive an email reply with the official PDF file(s) that we will submit to our carriers. Please verify that the information is correct then print, sign, and fax the form(s) back to us at 888-825-0800. If you are unable to fax to this number, you can use our alternate fax number: 408-971-1050.
Note: Please make sure to sign and date the form before you send your fax. Incomplete or inaccurate forms can not be processed and will delay the porting of your number. Please allow 2-5 weeks for your port to complete. Further porting information can be found below.
Using a ported number as your primary contact number creates three problems:
As a result of these conditions, it is Virtual PBX® policy that a number that you are attempting to port can not be used as a primary contact numbers.
The porting process for toll-free and local numbers will vary between each carrier. Virtual PBX does not have any control over these processes.
The number of LOA's that are required can vary. Typically, because toll-free numbers are issued by a large number of resellers, it is often difficult to know the originator, or RESPORG, of a given toll-free number. This may be true even if you originally purchased several toll-free numbers from the same entity. As a result, each toll-free number that you own could require a separate LOA. For local numbers, the opposite will be true in most cases. That is, a single carrier is the RESPORG for all numbers under your ownership. If this is the case, you can submit one LOA for all of your local numbers.
The time required to complete a port generally falls between 2-5 weeks. However, please be aware that each carrier will have different internal processes in place to finalize a port. These processes may prolong your porting time. The current volume of ports a carrier is handling can also effect your port time. Furthermore, while Virtual PBX® strives to complete ports in a 2-5 week timeframe, there will be periods where we handle a large volume of porting and support requests. During these periods porting may take longer than usual.
Note: The most common delay in the porting process is an incomplete or inaccurate LOA.
Virtual PBX® attempts to complete all porting requests in a 2-5 week timeframe. In the event that it has been more than 6 weeks since your request was issued, you may be experiencing any of a combination of the following:
If you are experiencing a significant delay with your port, please contact us directly at 888-825-0800, option '2' and we will attempt to resolve your porting issue as quickly as possible.
If you need to cancel your account for any reason, please send an email to support@virtualpbx.com containing:
You will receive an email reply confirming that your request has been received and entered into our system for cancellation. If you have not received an email or call from Virtual PBX® regarding your cancellation after 5 business days, please call 888-825-0800, option '2' and we will handle your request directly.
888-825-0800, option '2'. We will attempt to verify your cancellation and will reverse any charges in the event that you have been incorrectly billed.
If you are a Virtual PBX® customer currently using our SOHO plan, your billing is not pro-rated upon cancellation. For example, if your bill date is the 6th of the month, and you submitted a cancellation request after that date, your Virtual PBX® becomes inaccesible upon receipt of the cancellation. No further traffic charges are assessed to your account after that date. However, your account is not officially cancelled until the 6th of the next month. You will receive a final invoice that notes the cancellation.
