Ah, that sounds like a plan :) I've search bt.com and google'd but
can't find any mention of a "presence number" however. Will they know
what I'm talking about when I call 150? :)


Whoops, just re-read your post, Remote Call Forwarding it is :)


You need to make sure they don't just give you a fresh number with this
approach, though. You'll have to insist that they retrieve your old
number......the best way would be to restart the stopped line at your
old address; a problem now that they insist on 12 month minimum terms on
reconnections. That said, what's a year's line rental in the grand
scheme of things when compared to the aggro of telling everyone your new
number?

Yes, they've setup something (I forget what it's called but it's not
remote call forwarding) where they play a message to callers giving my
new number. They assure me that the porting will work this time. That
costs £20 for the first month (which is the minimum term) and £30/quarter
after that. It's definitely active on the old number :)

Thanks for your help,

Peter.
