Though most OLO's have the ability and can port numbers away from BT, BT will not port numbers out of area i.e. if they are geographic numbers in BT terms they are tied to an exchange.

RE: [asterisk-users] porting numbers in UK telewest/bt/adept
Any experts on porting numbers in the uk here? ;-) Yep, it is your legal _right_ to have the numbers ported in a reasonable time/cost. Point this out to them and ask what the complaints escalation procedure is. That should get their attention. Can you point me to the law that gives you the legal right to port numbers between providers? As far as I was aware they had to have a porting agreement with the new carrier to able to do this. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
[asterisk-users] porting numbers in UK telewest/bt/adept
A client used to use BT isdn30 and ported the numbers to telewest several years ago. Now, the client moved to adept telecom. I *think* adept resells BT products. We got new numbers from adept (bt?) and the old pbx on the telewest lines forwards the calls to the new numbers. On the adept line I got a digium card in an opteron supermicro server. ztcfg gives me over 99.99 pretty much all the time. Client complains about crackling, echo and faint on *some* of the calls, mostly incoming. I think the old pbx converts the calls into analogue and back into digital and that's where a lot of trouble comes from. Does anyone have any ideas on a) how to get the numbers ported and from who to whom? b) does adept really resell bt or have they got their own equipment? Are numbers ported to adept or to bt? c) are there any other ideas on how one could cut out the old pbx?

I admit that moving twice is a bit unusual, but I successfully moved some BT basic rate numbers from BT to NTL (who now own telewest). It took a couple of weeks and a few faxes. T.

Hm, well according to ofcom the numbers were originally given to BT. Would it then be BT who ports them back to themselves (or to adept)? Or do I hassle Telewest? thank you for your time!
