I dont understand what I am supposed to do
No less than 10 times I have told them to call me anytime. ANY TIME. Is that not an appropriate time frame?
They said 'between 9-5 M-F. I said great. Call me anytime.
I gave them 2 phone numbers
Over and over I said call me anytime. How in the world can they say I did not give them a time? Is ANYTIME not an appropriate time?
What if I give a time and they are not available then?
Why is 'any time' not appropriate? What more do they want from me?

Respectfully, that is not how I conduct business with banks, doctors, or any service provider. I made the mistake of telling an ISP to call me anytime once for a technical issue on their end once. I'll never do that again.
Regardless, I believe links for remote, technical sessions probably aren't intended to be left open-ended indefinitely. That is, I wouldn't want someone to be able to connect to my PC 24/7 in some ongoing manner. I'd imagine a specific time is required.
I believe that Fongo is waiting for you to set a specific date and time.
So, provide them with specific dates and times. Here's an example: "Today, Tuesday, March 27th at 3 p.m. EST is preferred. Otherwise, March 31st at 12 p.m. Eastern time is suitable. If that's not good, then Wednesday, April 1st, at 9 a.m. Eastern standard time would be appreciated. Please let me know when my appointment is. The phone number to reach me at for my appointment is 1-xxx-xxx-xxx. I will have the Grandstream ATA connected to the internet, and my PC will be able to access both the internet and the ATA via a web browser."Fongo support wrote: Our technician will be available to assist you between 9 AM and 5 PM EST
on weekdays . . . . To proceed, could you please let us know your preferred time for the technical appointment? Feel free to provide multiple time slots if possible, and we'll do our best to accommodate."
Anyway, I figure you'll probably work your way through the same process with CCTS acting as an intermediary eventually.
Please do not send me emails; I do not work for nor represent Freephoneline or Fongo. Post questions on the forums so that others may learn from responses or assist you. Thank you.
