RNK Offers Number for Life

Posted on Wednesday July 18, 2007.

RNK Communications introduced Phone Number Bank, the first solution of its kind that allows consumers to keep their telephone numbers forever, even if they move or want to cancel phone service associated with that number. The service will be offered at no cost to up to 1,000 Massachusetts residents on a 60-day trial basis.

Once consumers sign up for service with Phone Number Bank, they can forward calls coming in to that number to a personal phone of their choice (VoIP phone, cell phone, home phone, office phone, etc.), and enjoy all the benefits offered through Phone Number Bank, including a dramatic cost savings associated with their typical phone bill. Users can consolidate as many numbers as they please.

"The average American moves more than ten times throughout the course of their lifetime, and according to research from the Census Bureau, they move to new homes about every five years. As such, it was clear to us that there is a strong demand for a service which would eliminate the hassle associated with having to change numbers, and notify contacts of new numbers, with every move," says Richard N. Koch, CEO, RNK Communications.
