We are doing this - separate company handles the ported numbers and wholesales them back to us. So far OFCOM have accepted the discount claim, but failed actually get the bills right. Once the billing is all sorted, we will be in a position of wanting to encourage more number take up in conservation areas, as we only get the discount on ported numbers and only actual in-use numbers can be ported. This commercial incentive to us is the exact opposite of OFCOMs intentions.
