How ParkNBlend Voicemail Keeps You Connected
Most customers choose ParkNBlend for one of three reasons - call forwarding, voicemail, or basic number parking. Those who choose ParkNBlend for voicemail are pleasantly surprised by the versatility of the service. Depending on your specific needs, here are a few ways ParkNBlend voicemail can keep you connected without having to answer you phone.
1. Online Account Management: Regardless of where you are, as long as you have access to the internet, you have access to your ParkNBlend voicemail. Simply log in to your account from any computer or PDA and you can view/listen to messages, change voicemail settings, view history, and more.
2. Voicemail Notification: If you don't want to take calls, but still want to know who and when people are calling you, setting up voicemail notification will keep you connected. With four different voicemail notification settings, you can receive alerts via email, SMS, Instant Messenger and pager. This "filter" allows you to maintain your privacy, but at the same time, reply to urgent messages when necessary.
3. Voicemail Forwarding: For those of you who spend countless hours in front of your PC, voicemail forwarding is the easiest way to retrieve your voicemail. Every time someone calls your parked number and leaves a message, you receive an email with a .wav file attachment. Not only does this allow you to create a folder to store important messages and contact information, but you can also forward the message to other people, listen to it, or delete it.
4. Pinless Access: Pinless voicemail access allows customers to call their voicemail without keying in their personal identification number. Simply set up pinless access through your member portal, and every time you call your parked number from the number or your choice, your call will go directly to your voicemail box. No more remembering PIN numbers and no more going through interactive voice recordings. Simply call and listen, it doesn't get any better than that.
5. 20 Message Capacity: ParkNBlend voicemail boxes have the capacity for 20 voicemails, so even if you are out of town or offline, you don't have to worry about your voicemail box filling up quickly, or missing important messages.
Voicemail is only one of the many service enhancing features included free with ParkNBlend number parking. Once you have experienced the simplicity and convenience of ParkNBlend voicemail, you will wonder how you ever got by without it.
Parking Your Existing Phone Number is so Easy!
It's becoming more obvious that people are looking for ways to keep their phone number without paying for a phone service they rarely use. A lot of consumers don't realize that number parking exists, or how easy it is to do. People also don't realize that number parking is a "no strings attached" service. Just because you park your number, it doesn't mean the number becomes inactive or can't be ported back to another phone service in the future.
Another benefit of parking your number is that it can be a temporary solution or a permanent solution. If you do decide you have a need for a home phone service, you can transfer to TeleBlend or port to another phone service without incurring a penalty. You also have the option of parking the number for as long as you want and forwarding inbound calls or sending them to voicemail. In addition to being cost effective, ParkNBlend is a flexible service that buys you time while you figure out what to do with your long time phone number.
Parking a number is a very simple process. As long as your service with your current provider remains active throughout the number port, all you need to do is sit back and let us handle business. Here are the steps you need to take if you want to park your phone number:
1. Sign up online: Online sign up is quick and easy. The ParkNBlend sign up process consists of three pages and can be completed in five minutes.
2. Upload, fax or email us a copy of your phone bill: We require a recent copy of your phone bill when we port your number. The phone bill is used for reference and during the porting process. Please ensure the information you submit on your letter of authorization matches the information your current provider has on file.
3. Ensure your current phone service isn't disconnected prematurely: In order to port your number to ParkNBlend, your account must remain active with your current provider until you receive notification from ParkNBlend that your number has successfully transferred. Along as your account is active, ParkNBlend can port your number.
4. Cancel service with your former provider: You will receive notification from ParkNBlend once your number successfully ports. At that time, it is your responsibility to cancel your account with your former provider. Despite what many customers believe, ParkNBlend will not cancel service on your behalf.
As you can see, parking your number with ParkNBlend is extremely simple. Sign up for servive today and get rid of your expensive phone service once and for all.

Just like everyone else, I searched the internet, came across the site and with a doubting mind, I sent them an email asking for help. At the time, I wanted to get rid of my telephone company without losing the ph# that I have had for over twenty years.
This where the ParkNBlend came into my life. They offered the help I was looking for, I didn’t think it was possible for them to hold my phone # for a future date when I will re-establish with another phone company.
Well, I was surprisingly and pleasantly proved wrong! The price they charge was amazingly affordable, no pranks, no hidden cost.
ParkNBlend is a company full of integrity; I have been promoting their business to whoever wants to hear my story and the success I have with this company. Please give them a try, I’m sure you will not be disappointed".

Moving? 3 Tips To Ensure Your Phone Number Comes With You
When people move to another city or state, they usually intend to bring all of their valuable possession and belongings with them, and in most cases, that includes their phone number. The problem most people encounter is not being aware of their options or the steps they need to take to keep their phone number. Since most phone numbers aren't transferable to new cities or states due to 911 limitations, number parking is a popular and convenient solution.
Parking a phone number eliminates the need to notify friends and family of your new phone number when you move. Number parking also allows people to hold on to a number they have had for 10, 15 or even 30 years. The same principles apply to small businesses. Just because you move to another location doesn't mean all of your hard work and marketing has to go to waste. Here are a few tips to help make moving your number easy and stress free.
1. Plan ahead: The amount time it takes to port a number depends on your location and the responsiveness of your current provider. Since number porting isn’t instantaneous, it is best to plan ahead and initiate the number port well in advance of your move out date. The ParkNBlend forwarding and voicemail features will ensure you don't miss any calls if your number port completes before you have settled into your new location.
2. Your number needs to remain active: Premature service disconnections are one of the leading causes of rejected port requests. Disconnecting a phone number during the number transfer puts you at risk of losing your number and also delays the number porting process. In order to avoid this scenario, plan ahead to ensure your number remains active throughout the entire process and you leave yourself with plenty of time to port your number.
3. Decide how long you want to keep your number: Number parking can be a permanent solution or a temporary solution. If you have intentions to park your number for an extended period of time, all you need to do is decide how you would like to route calls by setting up voicemail or call forwarding. If you intend to use ParkNBlend temporarily, a plan should be created to slowly transition callers to your new number. The most popular solution is setting up a voicemail message that provides callers with your new number and instructs them to call you directly on your new number. Once your voicemail messages and call logs show little to no activity, you can contact support and let them know you no longer need the number.
Number parking is the ideal service for anyone who is moving and looking for a way to keep their number. By following this advice and planning ahead you can ensure your move goes smoothly and your phone number comes with you.
