keeping landline number

ianmcgrath — Wed, 14 Feb 2024 02:11:18 GMT

I have had a landline number for fifty years. Many people professionally have this number. I currently have Virgin but am moving to a building where they do not function. I am told that my options for the fibrin the building are Sky or BT. Sky say that they cannot port my old number. Is this true? If its is could BT do it? It was a geographic number within 0141 that no longer exists.

If you don't have the old number in use today, I fear it's gone forever or it's been allocated to someone else.

Try BT, but if you can't get a sensible answer that way (or get a negative answer) I'd also try A&A, who will be able to port a number to VOIP if anyone can.

Hi iammcgrath

It really depends on a number of factors to see if this number is available. Can you PM me the number to see if I can check?
