Anveo temporary number DID
Popadave:
Does Anveo give me a temporary number / DID to use while a wait for my landline phone number to be ported? I know that some providers do, but I can't seem to find that information on their website. I hope someone knows.
ProfTech:
From a technical standpoint, you shouldn't need one. Anveo handles the porting of your number anyway. Don't contact your current provider until AFTER Anveo notifies you that the port is complete. I think you should be able to set up a free account with Anveo to test your connection with Anveo before you request the port. From a practical standpoint I don't know how well Anveo handles all this. There is a chance you could be without phone service for a period. :-(
Taoman:
You could get an immediate free DID at IPKall and then forward it to your Anveo account via SIP URI. You just have to remember to use port 5010. It would look something like: 1555account#@sip.anveo.com:5010
Works quite well if you're ok with a Washington State area code.

It's not clear if the OP is talking about "regular" Anveo or Anveo for OBiTALK. And with that how much he wants to get his hands dirty. If the latter then he should just follow the wizard and if it doesn't go the way he wants, stop. If the former then he just needs to do what you suggest with a free account and if wanting to test DiD pick up a fifty cent number for three months.
On this page there is an e-mail address to contact them regarding porting. Need more info to see which path he's on.

Thanks to all who have helped me get an answer especially Proftech. I had already looked at spkall but I'm in Pennsylvania. Since porting can take a few weeks to a month I want local friends to be able to reach us during the switchover duration. I could give them our cell numbers but would prefer not to because people tend to call the cell # once they have it. We also have limited cell phone minutes and only use cell phones when out of the house. Since we're retired were often home. Don't need smartphone with internet access as I can use the Internet via wifi hotspts on my tablet. We prefer our current land line system since all the wireless phone sets support speaker phone operation and my wife, who wears hearing aids in both ears, hears much better on speaker phone. OneSuite, who we have been using for LD service and with whom we already have credit on our account, offers a short term option which I may use.
