BUsiness line phone number cannot be moved to different provider

jeb0007 — Wed, 25 Oct 2023 16:45:29 GMT

Hello learned people.. Just a question on the above. A friend of mine has been with BT for more than 17 years and uses the BT Number ( which I assume is registered somehow as a Business with BT for his business ) but he now wanted to MOVE to a different provider.. However, BT say.... Your BUSINESS number is FIXED with BT and therefore can NEVER be moved to a different company.

Can any learned MOD or anyone else confirm this is the case?

Thanks in advance

Regards

You would be better posting that question on the BT Business Forum.

It’s the company that your friend is moving to that should be asked about this , after all they would arrange it , not the losing company, if it’s a business number ( depending on the size of the business ) the number may already be delivered by VoIP , but even that doesn’t mean it cannot be ported , but it’s an issue for the new company to arrange , not BT , plus this is a BT residential customer forum , not a business one …..
