855numbers.com release post poned till 8pm

The response to our mailing has been overwhelming. As a result, we had to move the 855numbers.com site to a much bigger server. There also appears to be an issue with some browsers, so I would ask that you only use Internet Explorer as well. I apologize that there are a few bumps in the road, but I really pushed everyone (including myself) to get this out as fast as possible. Phone numbers are supposed to be issued on a first come first served basis so it was important to get this up ASAP. The site will go “live” at 8:00PM (eastern) tonight! I sincerely apologize for the delay and we’ll all look forward to helping you!

      help! what is this?Server Error in ‘/’ Application.
      ——————————————————————————–

      Runtime Error
      Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.

          Bill, can you or someone else there please give us an update? We are all starting to panic that we are losing out on our numbers. Thanks!

            that was painful – everyone, you must use IE and you may have to clear your cache after each order because paypal seemed to think it was “done” even though you may be performing a 2nd transaction -

              I’m still seeing just the slot machine with the “postponed until 8 PM” text on it. Has anyone else gotten in and reserved their numbers?

                Still the same message even upon clearing cache, etc: “Today’s 855 release is delayed until 8pm (EDT).”

                It is now 9:10

                  Your DNS isn’t clearing. Use this IP address in IE. http://204.12.25.185

                    Hi Bill, Bought from you before. How do I get in on a mac. No IE, just Firefox, Safari, Chrome. You’ve got to work on another browser besides IE?!?

                    Thanks!

                      I purchased 2 855 numbers but Paypal only charged for one. I received a PayPal receipt but never anything from you.

                      BTW the screen I received after PayPal had the following on it:

                      The parameterized query ‘(@SessionID nchar(20))SELECT SessionID FROM Orders WHERE Session’ expects the parameter ‘@SessionID’, which was not supplied.

                        Hi Bill,

                        I’m curious how this works. I called Rogers and they can’t put in a request for the 855 numbers so how is it that I can? I’d appreciate any information you can give.

                        Thanks,

                        Chris Wagner

                            I put in several keywords and within 15 minutes I had hundreds of numbers to choose from. Even word combinations I had never thought of. Then I got my number. The service is more than worth $49.95

                            Thank you so much for your service. I had only a couple of questions during the online process; which was simple, and when I called and spoke to you I had everything figured out in just a few minutes. I looked at several different companies for my toll free number and I'm very glad that I chose the best! Thanks so much.
