Hi Jim,
Yes, if you are moving your DID to a Local Exchange Carrier (LEC) but under
certain circumstances.
For example, you cannot take your DID if you're moving from one local
exchange (city) to another local exchange - e.g. you cannot move a Toronto
416 to a Brampton address. But you can port a 416 Toronto number from Bell
to Sprint as long as both old and new addresses are in Toronto. You may
also port DID's if you're only changing service providers and not changing
addresses.
You cannot move from wireless to wireline - say a Bell DID to Rogers. (I
heard Fido has a way of doing this, not sure). Bell, Telus, Rogers, Sprint
are all registered LEC's. It is in the interest of these LEC's to support
LNP.

Does anyone know what the current regs in Canada are with respect to local
number portability?
If I have a DID number, is it required by law that I be allowed to take
that
with me if I want to go somewhere else with it?
Jim
