808NetFone Services

Article Date: 11/18/2014

Hawaiian Telcom is continually building and introducing advanced technology and communications solutions to meet the growing needs of our customers. In some instances, this requires us to retire older, legacy products that can no longer be supported by new technology platforms.  

For this reason, 808NetFone services will be discontinued effective January 29, 2015. After January 29, 2015, your 808NetFone service will automatically be cancelled and the phone number assigned to your 808NetFone service will no longer be available for calling or porting to a new replacement service.  Should you decide not to transition your service to a Hawaiian Telcom product, your final bill will be sent in March 2015. You do not need to return any equipment provided with the 808NetFone service.

At this time, no other Hawaiian Telcom and Wavecom services that you currently have will be impacted.

Please contact Hawaiian Telcom no later than January 29, 2015 at 808-643-3456. As a valued customer, we’re here to assist you with the transition from your 808NetFone service and offer a suite of products and services to replace your service.
