I repeat my offer. ANY person having problems porting their Hawaii number can easily solve the problem by following these steps:
1) Send me a roundtrip plane ticket to Hawaii.
2) Book me a suite in a leading resort hotel.
3) Arrange for a 1/2 day where I will come over and fix your problems.
What could be more easy?
It appears that BasicTalk does not support Hawaii, thus my reasoning that since I already had the hardware, I could hack it to work with a company that does (Voip.Ms). Vonage will for an extra fee as I understand it.

@Lavarock7,

Thanks. It will be useful for others as I have hacked mine a month ago :-)
I held off posting blogs and other items about it because the Basictalk does not state anything about your purchase being tied to a requirement of using the service (as the whole house system states on its packaging). I didn't want to be the slayer to kill said golden goose.
Someone is going to change packaging (not that THAT will stop people from hacking it) but may also change the way it is marketed and/or sold.

Line2 is allowing Hawaii numbers now. Unlimited minutes and texting is included for $10 or $100 per year. Service was good as long as you have wifi.
Sorry about the download to survey. I thought I could monetize the idea, but I'll find another method.
Thanks.
