Hello Folks!

Been away for a while but ive just resigned up to virgin. I have requested that our old number gets ported over from BT.
Ive been give 2 stories...

1. I don't need to contact BT, virgin will contact BT and once the number has been ported BT will send a final bill end of story.

2. I have to ring BT to cancel and get passed from call centre to call centre :(

Does anyone if im ok to just go with the first one?? :)

Cheers

DJ

When I moved from VM to BT several years ago, option 1 was the story, the number was transferred but not without problems (caused by BT) but several years later here we still are

I've just transferred my number from BT to Virgin without mishap - and they very definitely told me *not* to contact BT. Virgin do it all ...

Agreed -don't contact BT - you will likely lose the number if you cancel. The 'gaining' Telco has the responsibility to contact the 'losing' one when a number ports from one to the other.
