Old landline number move

Hi I need my old landline number porting over but I've spoken with 3 agents over the phone and none of them seem to understand what I am asking them to do. I tried calling retentions but there isn't an option if your thinking of leaving anymore. What can I do to get this resolved?

  • Hi there joethornhill181 

    Thank you so much for your post and welcome back to the community forums, it's great to have you here. 

    I am so sorry that you have faced this issue with your landline and porting the number across, I would love to help here if I can.

    Can I just confirm, is the number still active with your new provider? If not can I ask when you disconnected the line with them?

        The number was on the previous virgin account at my address, I was told by email that It could take a couple of weeks to port that number over to my new virgin account but heard nothing since
