NumberBarnReviews of numberbarn.com

Numberbarn.com is such a helpful service. I recently moved a long distance and, though I'll keep my old nunber forever in Google Voice, I wanted a new number that will be familiar here, just for convenience. It's just nice to have the local area code, especially when doing business. Anyway, with Number Barn I was able to pick those 10 digits with complete freedom and without any time pressure (if you've ever picked a new number at the carrier store you know that they don't want to even give you a choice, let alone look up options for you). Porting out my new number to my new cell phone account was a piece of cake. It took like 3-4 days for it to fully go through because it's classified as a "land line" carrier, but that was a minor inconvenience compared with having a hard to remember number forever! Your phone number is something you'll be typing in, speaking to people, and perhaps advertising - maybe for decades! Make it something memorable or special to you.

NumberBarn is the most wonderful thing that I was able to find so that I can keep my number until I need to use it, whenever that may be. It is efficient, easy to set up, affordable and hassle-free. I had some questions, they responded immediately. I totally enjoy their service and highly recommend it.

This company has been an absolute disaster to deal with! My husband and I are currently in the process of moving back to my hometown, so we had to be assigned a new phone number by our cable company since it is in a different city than we have lived in for the past 13 years and the prefixes are different. Our cable company assigned us a phone number with a prefix that I've never even heard of for this city. Call me vain, but I really wanted a phone number that had one of the original five prefixes from when I grew up here in the 80s and 90s. The cable company informed me that they were not able to give us the prefix that I wanted and basically said that they pull phone numbers totally at random and what we get is what we get. They suggested that if I really wanted a certain prefix, I could purchase a vanity number somewhere and then have it ported over to them. I've never done this before, so I did a Google search and that's when I found NumberBarn. I was very excited when I saw that they had multiple phone numbers available with one of the "old school" prefixes for our city that I wanted, so I found a number that I liked and immediately purchased it for $17.99 and paid the extra $2 to port it out to our cable company. OH. MY. GOD. What a NIGHTMARE this has been! The carrier who I bought the number from via NumberBarn specifically said that a PIN number was NOT required for porting out and if the carrier that we were porting the number to requires a PIN to just use 0000. Sounds super simple and straightforward, right? NOT!!!! For the past TWO WEEKS, this carrier has REPEATEDLY REJECTED our cable company's request to take over the number, each time stating that the PIN number was invalid, even though I provided our cable company with the EXACT PIN (0000) that was provided to me by NumberBarn for porting out. After two weeks of dealing with this nonsense and going back and forth between our cable company and NumberBarn, I was FINALLY provided a new PIN number by NumberBarn two days ago. I immediately called our cable company back and provided them with this new PIN, only to find out today that they also rejected this NEW PIN that they had given to me just two days ago!!!!!!!!! It has been TWO WEEKS of this insanity and NumberBarn requires that you port your number out within 30 days of purchasing it, so we are very quickly running out of time. Today, our cable company wanted to do a three-way conference call with NumberBarn to try and find out what in the hell is going on and why they keep rejecting the PIN numbers that THEY GIVE US, only to find out that you can't even contact NumberBarn by phone! You can only email them! What a crock!!!! So, I reached out to NumberBarn via email and they claimed that they did not even see a port request from our cable company, which is a TOTAL lie because I have the confirmation number for the port from the cable company. NumberBarn is playing totally stupid and acting like they have no idea what's going on, but what I really think is that they don't want to let the number go so that I have to keep paying them to host the number! These people are CROOKS!!!! The Better Business Bureau and the Attorney General are my next stops!!! If you are considering purchasing a phone number from these frauds to port to another carrier, I have one word of advice for you.....DON'T!!!!!!!

Monica was so helpful. Everyone has been helpful. But one of my numbers had a little trouble porting out. Monica followed it and kept great communication with me as we followed the porting status on the third attempt. It indeed port successfully.

Hard to port out. Gave my other company all the information found at Port out but still NumberBarn rejected it and falsely said Zipcode incorrect, or PIN number incorrect,... different reason each time

Fantastic company! I purchased my number for a reasonable price, parked it and now I'm using their forward service. Quick response to my question. What more could you want? Highly recommend!

This company should not be in business.To get the problem addressed ,you have to wait at least 2 hours or more to have a respond.99% of response can not fix the problem.100% unsatisfied customer .I want my refund now.

I received a quick reply to my questions and purchased a great new number! Very excited to start using it. Thank you Amanda
