Yes, this triggered another thought for me in US ... DO NOT cancel your number at the current provider until AFTER it has ported or you will LOSE IT. Some Providers, like Vonage, require you to drop the service even after there is no number associated with it. I got to pay an extra month because of that (years ago). -----Original Message----- From: freeswitch-users-bounces@lists.freeswitch.org [mailto:freeswitch-users-bounces@lists.freeswitch.org] On Behalf Of Andrew Sent: Monday, December 30, 2013 8:41 AM To: 'FreeSWITCH Users Help' Subject: Re: [Freeswitch-users] [OT] How do I port my home phone number to a SIP address? Depends on the service provider. Some service providers will change the account to sometime called SIM dry loop. Each provider is different so it's best to see if your current provider can give you service without voice. -----Original Message----- From: freeswitch-users-bounces@lists.freeswitch.org [mailto:freeswitch-users-bounces@lists.freeswitch.org] On Behalf Of Alex Balashov Sent: Sunday, December 29, 2013 11:25 PM To: FreeSWITCH Users Help Subject: Re: [Freeswitch-users] [OT] How do I port my home phone number to a SIP address? 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. Francis <sms@icefire.qza.net.au> wrote:
I'm not sure if it's the same case in the US as Australia, but if we port a number here, the phone line is disconnected as part of the porting process. That's no big deal if you don't need the phone line, but if you've got a DSL service, you may lose that as well and you'll have to order another DSL service after the port is completed.
Check with your provider to verify the actual process involved, so there's no surprises.

Hi, guys,
This might be a little off topic, but I think many experts here may know this already. :)
I have a VOIP server set up and running. Now I start to think how to port my home phone number to this server. Basically what I want is if someone calls my home phone number I like to see a SIP connection to my own VOIP server.
Currently I'm using bbtalk as my home phone service. I'm pretty much sure they don't provide this service.
Who would be able to provide this service? I live in USA.
Thanks in advance.
Jun
