Hi Erik, We asked Primus for this once, and the answer was that they could provide additional channels on a number that was permanently call forwarded, but there was a monthly fee for each channel. There was also a maximum, I believe 3 channels. Primus had to provision the service on their switch, and the setup would have taken several weeks. In the end, the cost and limitations weren't worth it. You may have a different experience with Bell.
The are a few providers who can port areas that most others can't. They won't be nearly as inexpensive as the standard providers, but at least you can get the number into a SIP trunk with multiple channels. Iristel can usually port most numbers we have that others can't, but as I mentioned, the cost is much higher. Still usually beats out a Bell POTS line cost though.
