New ISP and digital voice

Hi folks,

Not sure which sub forum to use to hope this is ok here?

Boring background coming up:

Currently using Zen FTTC (or might be SOGEA?) with a PAYG (no inclusive calls package) digital voice line

We are due to get Netomnia in our area soon with no sign of any other FTTP providers showing an interest.

As far as I know, only their own subsidiary YouFibre offers the home retail Full fibre product and have a digital phone line but only offer inclusive call packages, not just PAYG.

As FTTC will be new to me, I may end up changing provider if/when other ISP's become available.


So the question is, if I decide to leave Zen, can I easily port my landline number to someone like AAISP and port the broadband to YouFibre (or AN Other) without service disruption. Also, can I easily port my digital phone number to someone like AAISP anytime I want anyway?

That (I assume) would allow me to keep the phone line and switch Internet supplier as/when I wish to. Or is it more complicated than that?

Any advice gratefully received.

Thank you.

Will continue in that thread.

When you have got Netomnia working you could port your landline number to a VOIP company such as Voipfone or AAISP. When the number is ported it will kill the PSTN and any associate broadband.

You would need to purchase some VOIP hardware such as a Gigaset N300 dect base station or a Cisco ATA 191 for a wired connection. Both these devices just need an Internet connection.
