Good Afternoon -
We are migrating from an on-prem Shoretel phone system to Zoom Phone.
Over 25 years ago, we were assigned a range of phone numbers 973-290-4000 through 973-290-4999 for our former Nortel Meridian phone system that we ported from Verizon to Windstream. Now, with Zoom, we expected to port these lines from Windstream to Zoom Phone.
We will probably have 250 or so of these lines active, but I was told by our reseller that Zoom could port the lines and park them for us at a yearly cost of over $8,000.
This seems excessive - I don’t want to lose the numbers we’re not currently using because we might grow departments or add more employees plus I don’t want another company to have a number that falls in between 2 of our numbers.
I’m curious as to what others who have migrated to Zoom (or possibly any other UCaaS, system) done in a situation like this.
Another thought was this - is there another company with whom we might be able to park lines and port them over as we need them?
