VoIP Provider Allo.com is Dead!

To the surprise and shock of many subscribers, internet phone service provider Allo.com has suddenly ceased operations. According to forum posts by subscribers, Allo sent out an email to subscribers informing them that they would be ceasing operations August 1.

This comes on the heels of the recent Sunrocket shutdown, which also occurred with little warning just a couple of weeks ago – causing hundreds of thousands of subscribers to scramble to find replacement VoIP service.

There is a post on the main page of the allo.com website now, which states that they are discontinuing all services on August 2, 2007. Apparently Allo will continue to sell hardware, but no longer provide internet phone service.

Allo is urging all customers to find a new VoIP provider immediately, but does not recommend any particular provider. Here is what they say:

“We urge each and every customer that has not signed up with a new service provider to do so immediately. Please do not delay, as services are being discontinued and will be permanently shut down no later than August 2nd, 2007.”

Allo is in process of refunding money to customers, thankfully!

Allo Customers Need to Find a Replacement Voip Provider ASAP

Allo.com customers must now quickly find a new broadband phone service provider, especially if they want to keep their existing phone number. Allo indicates that they will only process requests for porting (LNP) through August 31. This means Allo customers must sign with a new VoIP provider ASAP, as the number porting process can take a few weeks sometimes.

Recommended VoIP Provider as a Replacement for Allo.com: Voip.com

I strongly recommend Voip.com as a preferred VoIP provider for Allo customers. This is a financially stable company that offers a great $199/year “all inclusive” unlimited plan. When I say “all inclusive”, it means that you will never see another bill again for an entire year. Most providers offering an annual plan will continue to bill you each month for “taxes and fees” – but not Voip.com!

Many thousands of Sunrocket customers subscribed with Voip.com immediately following the Sunrocket shutdown a couple of weeks ago. Voip.com’s telephone lines were swamped, and they rose to the challenge by quickly hiring and training many new people and making a lot of innovative systems changes in order to meet customer needs and deliver exceptional service. This is a company that delivers satisfaction, and one that truly cares about it’s customers.

You can read my review of Voip.com here, or simply go to the Voip.com website to sign up for service. In addition, you can also call them directly to ask questions and/or sign up. Their phone number is 800-879-8647. Be sure to use Voip.com promo code LUCKY. This will let them know that I sent you, and will also ensure that you get to take advantage of the latest deals and money saving offers.
