Old Landline Number
I'm a bit worried. I moved mum over from plusnet to virgin for broadband. I thought she had BT for her landline but it's become evident that was with plusnet too. As it's stopped working. I've add...

I do hold an LPA but not registered with Virgin.
She cut over 2 days ago on Saturday. And the phone has stopped working
I asked for the landline to be added today
Ah okay great.
Are you still concerned that this was not action for you today when you asked for the landline to be ported, or that you had other questions regarding the number port?
The request itself can take around 10 days to complete. More than happy to help further should you've any further questions or concerns at all regarding this.
If I read it correctly Plusnet will have sent mums number back to BT for reallocation. Can you help us secure that number? She has had it for 50 years+
Virgin don't currently know her old phone number. No one has asked, so I assume nothing will happen unless something changes. Can you help change this outcome?
Oh sorry, you mentioned in your previous post that you asked for the landline to be added today. Did you not mean that you contacted us to request the number to be ported today?
We'd request the port on our side and then PlusNet would either accept or reject the port depending on if the landline number was still available to be requested. We don't have any control over whether they reject the port or not, but we can certainly attempt to request the number, but only if this hasn't already been actioned/ or a request already made, as multiple requests may affect and interfere with the process.
I feel like we are going around in circles.
I requested the landline but not the port. So I assume she will get some random new number
You need to know my mums account number and the number of the old phone number so you can request it from Plusnet. How will I give you that info? and what else do you need?
