Porting my Landline from voip provider

Hi all

ported my land line from BT to a SIP provider couple of years ago as I was going to use a VOIP service. 

Now I have VM any time chatter package, How can I port my number from Local phone voip provider to VM?

Thanks

    You can port your number back to VM but do be aware of the limitations of a VM landline.

    On a VM landline, the phone connection is provided from the back of the VM hub via a telephone socket (not a network connection). The telephone socket is designed to take an ordinary domestic telephone connected via an adapter from VM.

    The connection behaves as a conventional telephone wall socket and does not have all the features one might use on a true VOIP connection (as far as the customer is concerned).

    Once you have move the number to VM, it will become part of your VM bundle and VM often makes it very difficult to unbundle the number, should you wish to move it again in the future.

    If the above is what you want, a VM person should be able to assist when they reply to your topic (usually within 4 to 5 days of your first post).
