<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid">Apologies if this is a silly question, but I am wondering how exactly one would go about actually transferring a phone number from one service provider to another. I ask the question because I am interested in starting a residential broadband telephone service (and I'm sure I'm not alone)
<br><br>Specifically, if a prospective customer in Canada or the US wishes to transfer their telephone service to my company (or Vonage, Broadvoice, Packet8, or hundreds of other providers), what specific steps would I need to take to effect the transfer? Do I need to be a fully licensed CLEC for this to happen? Can a customer running Vonage transfer their number, and if so what specifically needs to happen?
<br><br>Thanks in advance for the input.<br><br>Regards,<br><span class="sg">Alok Mohindra<br><a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://www.virtualglobalphone.com/" target="_blank">www.virtualglobalphone.com
