I've seen a few posts here from people looking to port their number
from Virgin Media but having difficulty finding a VoIP company that
can do it. Well it looks like Voipfone now can; I got this email over
the weekend.

Dear Tom Ford

We are often asked if we can transfer Virgin Media telephone numbers
onto our network and we’re pleased to say that now we can.

If you would like to do this, you’ll find the process here:

(Virgin Media includes the old NTL and TeleWest numbers.)

Kind Regards

They/you failed to mention that they charge £ 20.00 pr number .

I asked voip.co.uk about this once and, unless my memory fails me, I
don't think that there was a charge at all.

Well voip.co.uk didn't when I moved my Vonage number over, no way of
knowing what they are doing now .  Voipfone on the other hand are an
excellent UK based voip provider but they do tend to be a little
expensive regarding things like porting numbers etc .

Porting numbers is bit hassle.  Lots of manual paperwork and chasing 
when they go wrong.  It has a cost.

What one can do without cost ( voip.co.uk ) all can do, but I suppose
if people are to lazy to notify people of a change of number then I
suppose they deserve to pay .

Personally I think that it is quite reasonable to make a charge. Just
how much that should be is a matter of conjecture.
If the number is a business one then porting is perfectly
understandable.
