Porting VOIP numbers
|
|
|
| Hi,
Does anyone know if it is possible to port numbers from sipgate to
gradwell/voip.co.uk/voipfone etc etc?
Of recent week incoming sipgate has been very flakey and its time to
dump it!
If not I'll just record an answer phone message giving the new number!
Many thanks
Matthew

Does it require the consent of the incumbent VoIP provider to port a
number elsewhere. If so, what happens if they object? Is the customer
forced to give up his number if he wants to switch providers?

You can't use portability to escape from any contractual commitments - its
pretty much the same situation with mobile number portability with your mobile
contract.

In my case, there is no contractual obligation.

Then there shouldnt be a problem. To answer your earlier question it is likely
that the original VoIP provider will be contacted to confirm that there is no
contractual lock in, but other than that, you should be OK.
