Looking at the anecdotal evidence in this thread, we can conclude the following:
Vodafone - EE = Yes Vodafone - O2 = Unknown Vodafone - Three = Yes O2 - EE = Yes O2 - Three = Unknown EE - Three = Yes ...This assumes that once an HD voice relationship between the networks is set up that calls made from either network to the other can be HD (It'd be horribly complicated if, say, Vodafone dialing EE could be HD, but EE dialing Vodafone could not). Anyone able to fill in the Unknowns? |

Anyone able to fill in the Unknowns? O2 -> EE Yes (Most of the time) But, O2 has a tendancy for calls to drop to 2G mid call which lowers the call quality. |

My EE phone number was ported from O2 and I only seem to be able to receive HD calls from other EE customers, not other networks. I wonder if the call going through the original network first breaks it.

It's accurate, I can only do HD calls on volte due to where I ported from. 3g to 3g calls on ee are never HD

That's an interesting point. My Three number was originally ported from Orange (via O2), and I've never had a HD call with any network apart from Three.

Does anyone know whether in the case of Scott's number, an incoming call will route O2->EE->Three? Or will it just go from the original number block owner (o2) and direct to the current network (so o2 -> Three)?
VF-O2-EE. Or is all of that a urban myth. What would happen if (god forbid !) VF went bust ? |

My number was ported from Vodafone to Three. I've made a successful HD call between Three and EE.

I thought with porting the original network routes the call. So for instance if you have a VF number, ported it to 02, then ported it to EE, any call from that point goes VF to EE, not
VF-O2-EE. Or is all of that a urban myth. What would happen if (god forbid !) VF went bust ? And yes it would be a problem if the original network went bust although if that happened there would presumably be much larger problems other than breaking the onward routing of ported numbers. However it does highlight a problem with our onward routing system of porting in that you are always reliant on the original network working to receive calls. This risk together with it seemingly, for the moment at least breaking HD calls means it's still preferable to have a number that's native to that network. Most other countries, who came to porting later than us, either never adopted this system or have moved away from it to an all calls query and central database system in which direct routing takes place even if the number is ported and thus avoids the problems we might face. |

Yes it's just the calling network > original network > called network. Any network it might have been ported to in the past is irrelevant.

Reading up on this, it seems in Portugal the caller receives a recorded message just before connection that the number they have dialed has been ported. What's the logic behind that ?! |

A far better system. Are there any plans, however vague, that we might move to a central database system in the UK, or are we set to continue with the inefficient porting arrangements we currenty have?

It doesn't matter if the calling party is using a ported number but if you call a ported number then HD probably won't work
