No links, but...if it ever was a Bell (Canada) number, it's yours to keep as long as you pay someone to keep it in service. -- Bjorn

Who actually owns phone numbers/DIDs? I've read of only one VOIP service that offers number portability when uses leave the system due mainly to fact that 99% of supplies are leasing the numbers from telecos and can't offer the consumer any sort of ownership. Even the brokerage systems that I've seen only offer leasing of numbers (often for about 3-5 dollars a month) Some links would be nice B
