How do I go about porting number from Virgin Media...

Hello,
Have placed an order with BT for Broadband and Calls and was allocated a new telephone number. I would now however like to port my telephone number over from Virgin Media to BT to save fiddling about giving everyone a new number for the second time in the space of 6 months.
So how do I port my number from VM to BT and how long does it take?
Thanks

Still have the vm phone account...
What a mess bt have made though, title is wrong, name spelt wrong, orders duplicated and some cancelled and to be honest I dont hold many hopes about my phone service been active tommorow.
I think it may be best to cancel all orders that BT have listed and start again, we've had this problem before- when BT edit orders and they fail on the day of activation as someone made a **bleep** up.
I'll phone up and sort it all out now...

  • Porting number from Virgin Media to BT - how to do...

    I am looking at moving from Virgin as my bill is currently too expensive, I have seen one of BT phone/ infinity and TV deals which are much cheaper, the only thing I am concerned about is if I can move/port my number from Virgin?. I have not yet cancelled my Virgin contract and not signed up to BT yet.
    Thanks

    Way better where I live ( NE London) Was on Virgin 60 - lucky to get 5- 10Mbps evenings and weekends. getting solid 74.9 since I joined BT.
    No regrets and cheaper! See below; before April 4th is Virgin, after is BT

  • Port number from Virgin Media Line to BT?

    Hey all
    I have two lines in my house, a virgin line and a bt line. Is is possible to transfer the number from the virgin line to the BT line without risk losing it? Its my main number and I have had for 25 years, but I only need one line in the house and I would prefer that to be the BT line as I have infinity on it.
    Cheers!

  • Porting number from Virgin to BT, post install?

    Basically, we have had a new BT line put in and broadband, with a Fibre order now placed on the line (completes this Fri). I could not be without internet at a decent speed, so have kept VirginMedia running in parralel whilst this all takes place.
    Can I now close off Virgin completely, and PORT my Virgin Landline number over to BT? Can BT sort all this out for me or do I need a code from Virgin?
    I do not want to have to change landline number to the new BT one!
    Thanks for any help.

    There is no guarantee that this can happen, unless Virgin are prepared to release the number. They use a totally different system. When you ordered the BT line, did you ask BT to keep your existing number?

  • Will it cost anything to port number from virgin to a vzw family plan?

    I looked and couldn't see this (slightly convoluted) situation covered anywhere. I was wondering if you could help.
    I use one line of a 5-phone family plan (I'm not the account owner). I have a sister who is interested in taking over the line but would like to bring her virgin mobile pay-as-you-go number when she takes over the phone. I don't need to take the current vzw number with me, so would there be any charge from verizon for that? Thanks in advance for any help.

    Thanks for the reply, Wildman. I guess the ETF was what I was afraid of. She says she did call verizon and they told her the virgin number could be ported.
    But to avoid paying anything, it sounds like she'll just have to take the number I've been using and lose her old number. Someone correct that if I'm not thinking right. I guess I thought I might not have to pay the ETF if I don't need to take my current vzw number anywhere else.

  • How to hide the PORT NUMBER from the URL

    Hi,
    We have Application on Node 1 and Database on Node 2
    Apps Version: 11.5.10.2
    DB: 9.2.0.6
    We recently added a new node to act as web server for iSupport.
    Now we are able to access the url using public Ip-address which looks like
    http://<Internet Ip-Address>:<PORT NUMBER>
    Eg: http://******.com:8000
    But we dont want the *'PORT NUMBER(8000)'* to be displayed.
    How to hide the port number ?..
    Thanks in Advance,
    Mahesh

  • Getting host name and port number from application

    Does anyone know how I would be able to get the host name
    and port number from an application launched by java webstart ?
    This is the host and port of the URL that this application is launched from.

    A couple of suggestions:
    -The note is about 6.40. Doesn't fit for your server
    -Don't!
    -Reinstall!

PLEASE HELP! how can i find my serial number from Apple, they surely should have my serail number on my apple ID???

    It seems it was never registered to your Apple ID.
    Do you have an iTunes backup of the iPad?
    Open iTunes.
    Open Preferences. (In Mac OS X, choose iTunes > Preferences. In Windows, choose Edit > Preferences.)
    Click the Devices tab.
    Position the mouse over a backup to display the serial number of the backed-up device. iPhone and cellular iPad models also display the IMEI/MEID and Cellular Data Number:

  • How could I change my telephone number from iMessage ?

    How could I change my telephone number from iMessage ? I've try in my Apple ID and doesn't work.

    Hi,
    On your iPhone Add the Apple ID
    On the Mac then Accept the pop up(s) that appear saying the iPhone is using the ID and iPhone number.
    Untick the old number in the list for Receive At and Start Conversation From drop down if it is the listed item.
    For complete removal you have to delete a .plist or two.
    Open a Finder window
    Use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key
    Select the Library that appears.
    Navigate to the Preferences
    Find com.apple.imservice.imessages.plist and com.apple.imessage.bag.plist and drag them to the Trash.
    Restart the app on the Mac.
    It will ask for the Apple ID.
    It should get the pop ups about the iOS device.

  • How do I get my UDID number from my ipod if I can't plug it into itunes?  Apple took it back because it was broken and gave me a new one but I have games and apps that can only be moved over with the UDID from the old pod.

    How do you get the UDID number from your ipod if you don't have the ipod anymore.  The apple store took it because it wasn't working so I can't plug it in to get the number.  Some of my apps are associated wtih that number and I can't move them to my new Ipad without that number.  Any ideas?

    Hi KT. I restored my information back to November 10th and the one app that I need the info on is still empty like I just downloaded it. Do you have another suggestion? I was able to track down my serial number but can't get the UDID without plugging it in and I no longer have it. Suggestions?

  • How can I remove the page number from the first page of the document that is the cover page?

    How can I remove the page number from the first page of the document that is the cover page?

    If you open the Pages panel, (Window>Pages) you will see thumbnails of your master pages and your document pages. In new documents, there is usually a master called A-Master and one called None. If you drag the thumbnail of the None master onto the thumbnail of a document page, it will apply that master to that page. Presumably, you have made your page numbers on A-Master, so this will usually do the trick. If you have elements on A-Master that you need on the first page, but just not the page number, you can duplicate A-Master (which, by default will give you B-Master, but you can change the names if you like) and remove the page number on the duplicate and apply that to the document page.
    It might also be worth noting that you can apply master pages in the fly-out of the Pages panel. Go to the fly-out triangle and go down to Apply Master to Pages…, then select a master to apply and the range of pages (1-8 will give you all 8, 1, 3, 5, 7 will be the odds, 1-3, 4, 6-8 if you want continuous ranges and individual pages).

  • How can i remove the phone number from the text messages that i receive in the notification center

    how can i remove the phone number from the text messages that i receive in the notification center?

    You choose whether to see text messages in Notification Center or not.  If you elect to see them, they will display the phone number (unless they are from a contact in your contacts list).
    You can choose not to see them at Settings > Notification Center > Messages.

  • How can I dial a phone number from an email message directly

    How can I dial a phone number from an email message directly,
    But even before the selection i will change or correct the number?
    If I copy the number in the notebook, all spaces are filled with % signs.
    When I dictate SIRI the number I get the answer: I do not know the number
    If I copy the number in the phone selection (above) the number can not be edited afterwards.

    You can dial a number appearing in an email by tapping on it.
    But if you need to correct the number first you cannot edit a received email.
    To edit the number tap on the forward symbol and when the draft comes up you should be able to correct the phone number, copy it and paste into your Phone App. Then delete the forward email without sending it.
