netTALK Announces Number Porting for U.S. Landline Numbers

Source: netTALK Press Release

netTALK.COM, Inc. (OTCBB:NTLK), a telecommunications and consumer electronics company, announced that it now supports local number portability (LNP), enabling customers in the U.S. to keep their existing landline phone number.

“Keeping your own number is a pivotal development for netTALK. We consistently find that the number porting feature is a non-negotiable feature that businesses and consumers want, as they are ready to fire their phone company and save money, but didn’t want to lose long-established phone numbers that they’ve invested in advertising among their friends, customers and colleagues,” said Anastasios ‘Takis’ Kyriakides, President and CEO of netTALK. “We trademarked ‘Fire Your Phone Company’ for a reason, and we remain committed to making it easier, more affordable and rewarding for consumers to make the switch.”
