[Freeswitch-users] [OT] How do I port my home phone number to a SIP address?

[Alex Balashov]

Port-outs will definitely trigger a disconnect order on a POTS line in the US as well, which in turn would disconnect any DSL provisioned on it. 

Actual answer to the question depend on your area and the VoIP companies and underlying carriers that have coverage there.
