The phone number we assign to You is not Your property.

There is no minimum period of time that the number will remain idle. We reserve the right to reassign the number any time after the number becomes available. We may have to assign You a different number during the term of this Agreement, but we will notify You in advance. It is your responsibility to ensure all new numbers allocated to your service are working as expected.
8. Your Old Phone Number
You may be able to switch an existing wire-line or wireless phone number to be Your MondoTalk Service number. The Service, known as Local Number Portability (LNP) is available in certain areas. Please check with Your Service provider.
You can purchase a PSTN Telephone Number from MondoTalk separately. Since this is Internet Voice Services, the calling patterns are not driven by the traditional Area Code format. For example, You can live in California and have a telephone number with an Area Code from New York. While this may seem unusual, it is similar to Your mobile phone where it rings wherever You have the mobile phone, regardless of the Area Code assigned. For example, with MondoTalk, You can take Your phone while You travel, say Europe, and when You plug into the Internet, Your New York number will ring. Please refer to Your Service provider for further information on the Virtual Numbers available.
