If you reserve a number and then go back 30 seconds later it will say it's NOT available. Reservations do work, maybe they just work better than you realized. Why would someone that's obviously in the same small organization be paying for a reservation if they weren't connected to you? Bill<ul></ul> Mike,

I would guess that stealing is much less than 1 percent because we've had hundreds, (maybe over a thousand?) numbers activated by someone else in an organization and never had anyone else in the same organization stealing it. And even if they did all you would have to do is complain because the number is still on our service so we can adjust it if necessary. It's not like they've really left or gone anywhere with it. We can get it back even if we've released it if we really have to. I think the biggest reason that doesn't happen is that the person doing the reservation is really the only person that knows what number they reserved unless they tell someone. There are security issues with changing ring to numbers and releasing numbers to other companies, but that really isn't much of an issue on reservations the way you're assuming it could be. At least not in our experience with the past 20,000 numbers we've done over the past two and a half years.
