Already have a number?
OFCOM have stated that number portability agreements should exist to allow end users the right to move between suppliers. There are many and various reasons why you may choose to leave your current supplier, pricing increases or bad service are the most notorious. The transfer is seemless so you have no need to be concerned. If you have been using one of these numbers, your customers will have got used to it by now, number portability allows you to transfer to another provider for whatever reason.
