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?

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

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...

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!

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

Hi Hsawwan,
Can you plz explain me the steps how to hide the port number from the url as our network administrator is not aware of this.

Port number from 7777 to 8080 - URGENT please

dear all,
i'm using Apex 2.2,
i wanted to change port number from 7777 to 8080,
due to Security Reasons, i have to change the port from 7777 to 8080
in which File i need to do the Changes & what are the Steps to be Followes,
http://10.33.20.6:7777/pls/apex1/apex
i wanted to change the same to
http://10.33.20.6:8080/pls/apex1/apex
please Help me out in this,
its is Very URGENT PLEASE
Many thanks

This is unlikely to be any help becaue your URL specified 'pls' in the path indicating that you are using mod_plsql, but but you might like to check that you are not inadvertently servicing your Apex instance with the embedded PL/SQL gateway.
Check to see if you are using EPG with the simple sql :
SELECT DBMS_XDB.GETHTTPPORT FROM DUAL;
If value returned is 7777 then you appear to be using EPG.
Change the port using EXEC DBMS_XDB.SETHTTPPORT(8080);
And then navigate your http://10.33.20.6:8080/pls/apex
As I said it's unlikely to be any help but wort checking all the same.

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!

Benny

Select Listener Port Number from which_table?

I'm writing a SQL script that, among other things, disconnects from Oracle and then reconnects to the same instance as a different user. I'm able to query v$database and v$instance to get most of the information I need (host, service name, etc) for the reconnect part. The only part I'm missing is the listener port number. I could hard code it to 1521, but that isn't very flexible. Currently, I'm prompting the user (which is normally me) for the listener port number in the SQL script, but that just seems a little bit lame. So my question is this: is there a view or table somewhere in the sys schema that I could use to view the listener configuration? I'm mostly working with 10gR2+ databases.

cleavitt wrote:
That is possible, but it needs to be a standard Oracle configuration if the script is to remain generic and portable. The script is actually working fine as-is. I was just trying to go the extra mile and determine the port number automatically. I could also prompt for a TNSNames entry as suggested by others, but I don't always have an entry defined for all of the Oracle instances in my company on every workstation that I work from.
Here is the script for anyone that is interested. It started out as a script that I found online, but the original did not work with 11g case-sensitive passwords and it only worked for local connections on the server.
Description:
Allows a DBA user to impersonate another user (without knowing the user's password).
Similar in function to using the SU command in Unix/Linux.
Note:
This script temporarily changes the impersonated user's password and may cause other
connection attempts by that user to fail during the moment that the temporary password is in effect.
WHENEVER SQLERROR EXIT
SET VERIFY OFF
ACCEPT username CHAR PROMPT 'Enter the username: '
ACCEPT listenerport NUMBER DEFAULT 1521 PROMPT 'Enter the listener port [1521]: '
-- Define substitution variables and column mapping.
COLUMN username NEW_VALUE username
COLUMN password_hash NEW_VALUE password_hash
COLUMN host_name NEW_VALUE hostname
COLUMN instance_name NEW_VALUE servicename
-- Populate substitution variables.
SELECT
name AS username,
-- Get the user's password hash(s) and apply appropriate formatting for case-sensitive password if needed (11g+ passwords).
NVL2(spare4, spare4 || ';' || password /* 11g+ */, password /* pre-11g */) AS password_hash
FROM sys.user$
WHERE name = UPPER('&username');
SELECT host_name, instance_name
FROM v$instance;
-- Set the user's password to a temporary value.
ALTER USER &username IDENTIFIED BY TempPass;
-- Use the temporary password to connect to the database as the user.
CONNECT &username/TempPass@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=&hostname)(PORT=&listenerport))(CONNECT_DATA=(UR=A)(SID=&servicename)));
-- Reset the user's password to the original value using the original password hash(s).
ALTER USER &username IDENTIFIED BY VALUES '&password_hash';
SHOW USER
UNDEFINE username
UNDEFINE password_hash
UNDEFINE hostname
UNDEFINE servicename
UNDEFINE listenerport
WHENEVER SQLERROR CONTINUE
SET VERIFY ONAnd by so doing you just kicked the user's password expiration on down the road, negating the benefit of havng a password expiration.
Also, you locked out the legitimate user of this account, until such time as you reset it back to the original. And in the mean time, if this happens to be an account used by some automated process, that process doesn't know the new "temporary" password and runs a risk of locking the account from too many invalid connection attempts. Try to become SYSMAN or DBSNMP from this, and you will very quickly kill OEM.
This has "bad idea" written all over it. What problem is it supposed to be be solving?

Ported number from Google Voice.... Please help!!!!!

I Ported my number from Google Voice to Verizon a few days ago because Verizon has the best network out here but I am still unable to receive text messages from any carrier other than Verizon. The port says it was completed and customer service has had me reprogram my phone a dozen times now to no avail. I guess I have to cancel my service with Verizon and port the number to another provider that can fix this for me. If you have any advise, please let me know. Customer service at Verizon does not even seem to know what Google Voice is.

Welcome to our family but we don't want to lose you with our family Dtowlou. Have you spoken with the port center about your issues with activating your phone and service? What happens when you try to make a call out or send a text?

Change XML DB default HTTP port number from 8080 to ... ?

Hi !
I need to change the default port number of XML DB from port 8080 to something else, because the development server also hosts a web service, which is configured to listen on port 8080 for debugging reasons. This WS is provided by our partner and we have no control over the ports it uses.
I'm not a network prof. so I'd like to ask what other port number would make sense for XML DB instead of 8080. Can I choose any port number I like, e.g. 8088?
Besides using DBCA is there any other place I need to configure this new port number?
TIA,
Stefan

I've done this on occasion using the OEM attach to the database and click XML Database then configuration, you will see it on the right window pane.

Hiding the port number from the url

Hi All,
In our applications built using Weblogic Portal 10.3, the url to access the application doesnt have the port number. It is simply like http://<server-name>/<context> no port at all. Is this some configuration that is available inside weblogic adminstration console? The domain has both the default port and the SSL port enabled which are running in 7001 and 7002 respectively. Please let me know as how to do this configuration as I am growing haywired on this it has been about a week and have not found an answer yet. Please throw some light on this and let me know if you need further details
Thanks
Ashwin

you should install apache server to handle all the requests on port 80 and froward it to weblogic server using wlp plugin
please check this link
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13222_01/wls/docs81/plugins/apache.html
any request http://yourapp/context will be mapped to http://youapp:7001/context

Port number from Skype to At&t?? Prior Success but...

I do not understand and am frustrated. I recently acquired/purchased a second landline number since the process of porting out a number from skype to AT&T was completed at a prior time successfully (a year or two ago).
I now am hindered in this process due to ATT saying they recently received a memo which disables them to proceed. Something about Skype's telecom partner no longer allowing international ports or something.
I called Verizon and they said this was possible for them and they would go ahead with the process.. I do not want to switch providers for a number but would like clarity. Anyone knowledgeable with this process and current/new policy?? I purchased the number for this specific reason.

Alright ... well, you may have lost your former number. You should have simply submitted your information to activate your iPhone and that act alone would have closed your Verizon account and transferred your number. So if you somehow believed you had to close your Verizon account before activating your iPhone then, in essence, you gave your phone number back to Verizon to release to a new Verizon customer.
Which is probably why your getting the message that there is no number to transfer. My advice: Accept your fate, re-activate and take a new number.
I say this because I transferred over from T-Mobile. In fact, I bought six iPhones all together (one for each of my employees) and they had accounts with different service providers (Sprint, Verizon, Metro, etc.). Two employees did as you did and we lost the numbers.
For those we didn't lose - the only trouble we ran into was failing to insert the the account information exactly as it appeared on our billing statements. If it was all in caps and we went back and put re-input all in caps then the activation and number transferred. If we let off our suite number or if it was shown as # or STE then when we provided that just as it appeared on the statement, the transfer went through.
I hope this helps.

Negotiating a port number from the OS

All the socket classes require a port number to be specified. No problem, except as one of the requirements at work, I need to make a server that negotiates with the OS to receive a free port number. I can not hard code any numbers or receive them from the command line. I've looked through the forums and a few google searches, but I can't find anything useful. Does anyone here know how to do this or what technologies can do this? This requirement was kinda sprung on at the last minute, so even a simple hack may be exceptable. Thanks alot.
-JBoeing

That's easy, bind the serversocket to port "0", it
will do exactly what you want.http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/api/java/net/ServerSocket.html#ServerSocket(int)
see the first sentence:
Creates a server socket, bound to the specified port. A port of 0 creates a socket on any free port.
