I first chose Lingo.com and that was terrible. Lingo.com's customer service was horrible and after 3 months they were still unable to transfer over my cell number. Over a three month period I called them weekly (spoke to Lizzy, Angela, Victor, Jed, Karen, Louise, Melanie) to get the status and twice faxed them my info (last 4 of my social, previous ATT bill, and permission to change). They never got it right.
Today when I called to cancel because they were unable to transfer my number, Nicolas said Lingo can't transfer cell numbers and he would charge me $99 to cancel. I was told just the opposite when I signed up. I told him they have no right to charge me the cancellation fee since they were never able to transfer my line. He didn't care.
Vonage transferred over the same number within a week. Lingo is a scam.
