Future Nine Not Working Most Times
Michael_Reeder:
F9 was working at 11:03am this morning. Ringing and taking voicemail.
Now -- no phone calls go through, no website answering, no domain ping, smartphone apps unable to connect, and ObiTalk control board reports Obi devices unable to connect.
This really sucks as they had been around long enough that I was using one of my numbers with them for important purposes!
Does anyone have any idea how phone numbers could be ported???
I really hope they come back online with an apology and a temporary outage...

I wrote to support@future-nine.com with a polite but worried question asking if they'd be back soon. Will update if I hear back.

Apparently he and/or F9 have gotten into serious problems and the F9 site looks to have vanished, along with whatever funds he took from subscribers for service that has vanished without a trace.
Your comment is a little unkind. Every service provider has outages. It doesn't mean they've vanished with your funds. It means they are experiencing an outage. According to the other forum, they seem to be having DNS issues.
For those of you who wish to port your phone number over an outage of a few hours, go for it. However, no service provider will guarantee zero downtime, at the price you are willing to pay. Also keep in mind that it will take days/weeks to port your number, and they will probably be back online later today.

Code:
Avocet:~# dig +short mx future-nine.com
10 mail.future-nine.com.
Avocet:~# dig +short mail.future-nine.com
127.0.0.1
I wouldn't expect an answer until after the outage is over.

As I tried to state clearly in the reply I made=>

In trying to visit http://www.future-nine.com/ - all that results is a search portal page and the title 'non-existent domain'.
I may be 100% wrong here, but I cannot recall ever getting a page titled 'non-existent domain' when there was merely a DNS problem before - please correct me if I am mistaken ??
As a paid user of that service I would much prefer NOT to have it just vanish - but sadly have seen MANY internet services simply dry up & blow away (along with user's payments...) too many times in recent years.
A very sad thing when this happens, IMO.
