The Phone Number Bank (PNB) service will expand to 80 more markets across the US. This will make it possible for even more people to have the chance of keeping their current phone number even if they change addresses.

Up to this point, phone numbers never really belonged to their users, but were only automatically generated by the communication service provider. When someone had to move, the number was lost and, with it, all connections.

What the Phone Number Bank brings new is the possibility to forward the calls received at the previous numbers to the new one, a simple solution for never missing a call. Moreover, this takes away all the fuss that people had to go through in order to announce all of their friends of their new phone number every time they had to move.

"The average American moves more than ten times in his life, often having to change his number with each move. Phone Number Bank is similar to a bank in that RNK Communications is a regulated telephone company and will safely store a consumer's number. People today typically have too many phone numbers and pay for lines associated with those numbers. It is the phone number that's often valuable and not the associated lines for which a consumer is paying, on average, over USD 50 per month", said Richard Koch, President and CEO of RNK Communications.

Becoming a PNB customer only asks for a quick and easy sign up at the company's website. Moreover, they can manage their accounts online at any time in order to make any changes as easy as possible. Customers can also choose to forward the calls placed on the old number to a voicemail box and listen to them online. More information on this service can be found at Phone Number Bank's website.
