Cellular Phone Forum / Country Specific / UK Group / March 2007Porting Fax Numbers
I'm finally giving up on Orange after twelve years. I know that I can port my mobile number to whichever new company I choose, but I also have an Orange Answer Fax number which is published on business cards and various other places. Is it possible to take a fax number to a new phone supplier as well? Cheers, Dave... > I'm finally giving up on Orange after twelve years. > > I know that I can port my mobile number to whichever new company I choose, > but I also have an Orange Answer Fax number which is published on business > cards and various other places.

If you port to Vodafone, you can sign up for a vodafone.net account which gives you a combined voice/fax/email mailbox. When signing up your separate voice mailbox number and fax number is replaced with a single number that is used for voice and fax. So bear in mind if you take this option you will end up losing your original fax number anyway. I am unsure as to what options other networks offer.

If it was a real MT fax number which caused your mobile to ring with "fax call" then you could port it.

I see. An answerfax number is the same as a vodafone.net fax number then as far as porting is concerned. I was right in yes you can port a fax number, however you cannot port an answerfax number as this is not a fax number in the conventional GSM sense. Andrew Woodvine |
