Unfortunately there is only a certain amount of numbers VM can give a new customer, so it always a possibility that you will get a used one.

All numbers are kept out of circulation for a minimum of 90 days after someone disconnects to avoid someone having a number assigned the day after its disconnected elsewhere.

AFAIK BT assign a number per house so when you move in you get the same number as the last people (unless they've taken it with them)
