I need to change my VM landline number
I've had my landline since around 2000 but need to change it as I've been getting quite a few calls over the past year or more from members of the public asking for an institute handling mental health! I don't know if there's a fault in the line but when I called the institute in question, they suggest I contact VM and ask to get my number changed. If someone could help me that would be great. I tried calling the 150 from my landline but the options aren't very helpful or relevant. Thank you.
Porting number out of Virgin - End of Contract
I'm looking to leave Virgin (Broadband and Home Phone) after many years and moving to a new FTTP provider in my area. I've just given notice to cancel and services end on 14th June and I'll be porting my Landline over to the new provider. The agent advised that he has "opened" the landline number for the new provider to claim and this will be open for 90 days. He mentioned that if the number isn't claimed by the new provider within 90 days then I would be charged £19 per month. I'm trying to decide on an install date with the new provider and the porting process takes up to 2 weeks. If the porting was to start on 10th June and take 2 weeks, would my number still be available for the new provider to claim even though my services are due to end on the 14th of June (as the agent says it would be availble for 90 days). Would I be charged if the porting was completed after the service end date of 14th June or would there be no charge as long as it's complete within 90 days as the agent advised?
