We currently don't support porting of numbers.

It's not likely we will support porting in the near future.

We advocate VOIP as an alternate/extra line until broadband providers can offer better quality of service. A major point on replacing a fixed line with a wireless provider and using VOIP (ie. getting rid of line rental) is that you have to be aware of the quality issues with VOIP and the reduced availability. This is realy down to the 'last mile' which only your broadband provider has control of. You may have a situation where at certain times of the day calls are degraded, you may also find as new subscribers are added to the same access point the quality degrades ie. it's ok now but in two months it's worse. We would not recommend getting rid of your fixed line if it's the only means of telephone communication (ie. you don't have a mobile) or you are using your phone where reliability is very important (such as office).

One of the main reasons we don't port numbers is because we don't like the trouble caused to a customer when they shut down their old line move to a broadband (wireless/cable) provider and find it's not as good as expected. That all said lots of people use freespeech VOIP as their main phone line and and are very happy.
