How do you 'own' the number?
Is it a personal number as opposed to a normal geographic 01 or 02 number? |

How do you have the rights to it?
Surely the telco just lease it to you? |

I don't think that you can transfer a BT number to someone else. What's the value in an old take-away number, anyway?

Perhaps the number is snappy and easy to remember?
Or it might just be that the number will be familar with local people around the area? |

If its a non-cable number, dont BT for example have a problem porting a number from 1 exchange to another, so if anyone did take over that number in a completely different part of town then the number couldnt be operated from a different exchange... dodgy dealings trying to sell on a standard landline number |

I don^t believe there is anything stopping you from "porting" a number to another PTO. I think the debate is could you port and have the number presented in another STD code area....yes but it would be out of area. But you could have it out of area without porting...but for "out of area" you would pay!
I think the key point is when you have a number ported it is delivered by the alternative PTO and can be ported again and again but in practice is always ported from the origional PTO, until the number is ceased. Then it returns to the "origional PTO" who can then realloate it. |

It isn't linked to the premises, unless you leave and transfer the new persons details to your account. |
