Number portability exists in Australia but mobile numbers only across mobile carriers and 'pstn' numbers only across pstn carriers.
Some of the earlier Voip providers (yeh I'm talking about you Faktortel <http://deancollinsblog.blogspot.com/2007/06/faktortel-sucks.html> ) don't allow portability as they assigned numbers that belonged to isdn 100 unit 'pstn blocks', but apart from that it's a pretty good system.

Are phone numbers portable in other countries? Are the same rules and conditions that exist here in the States mirrored elsewhere? How does a person in Europe go fully VoIP and still keep the main number? Do they use call forwarding? Is their another way to use an origination carrier without loosing your number? Alex
