Some will do it, other will not. Key point is that they're not required to do so (by the FCC in the U.S., at least). http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/NumberPortability/ Interestingly, this official FAQ doesn't even contemplate porting from wireless to wireline. I have had Speakeasy VOIP decline to port my personal number because it was originally a cell number (from Verizon Wireless). However, Vonage did port it -- though it took them 3 months to do it. And, more recently, Broad Voice got it from Vonage, though it took them 6 months. _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
