Moving Premises? Want to Keep your Old
Telephone or Fax Number?
 Number
Porting
- Perfect for keeping your old number when you move
premises (even outside your local area)
- Save Money - pay as little as £3 per month. (BT
charge over £100 per quarter for a simple call diversion
from one exchange to another)
- You can also save money when you move from a
dedicated fixed fax line to our FAX to EMAIL service.
- Switch Phone Providers to us (and you can keep your
old number, EVEN IF YOU ARE MOVING
ABROAD)
- Porting is available for BT, Energis, Virgin Media (Telewest/NTL/Eurobell)
and many VoIP numbers.
- You can now port all BT and Virgin Media
geographic area code telephone numbers. Non-geographic
numbers beginning with 08 (e.g 0800, 0870, 0845) supplied by
BT or Energis can also be ported. We regret that we cannot
port Virgin Media non-geographic numbers beginning with 08.
- We are also able to port numbers from some
existing VoIP providers such as Sipgate and Vonage
(providing you have their agreement to do so).

team. We can migrate from the following companies:
