They have an exchange that should be able to get that number ported in by the looks of it - http://www.localcallingguide.com/lprefi ... xch=152960
The only way you will know now unfortunately is to go through the motions of porting it in as far as I know.

As for your birthday. I just looked at the registration form and can't see on the initial page where it asks for your birthday. I know it is an option to enter along with other information, but I don't think it is mandatory.

My friend was trying to register tonight in Blenheim, but could not find his street listed when trying to register. Could a Freephoneline Representative, add Cathcart Street to Blenheim, Ontario, N0P1A0?

I know that Peterborough has been added as part of the cities we can now call for free. Can we also port numbers that are in Peterborough as well? I am asking about the 705-743-**** phone numbers specifically. I see peterborough is not in the list of cities in the link someone provided above.
