Port the number to freephoneline

Post by rob822 »

I ported the number from another provider to Vbuzzer. Now I decide to port the number to freephoneline, but I want to keep vbuzzer account, if this case do I get the previous number form vbuzzer(when I sign up vbuzzer provided the number). Please let me know, what will happen when I port the number from vbuzzer to freephoneline?

Ummmm, wouldn't that be something you want to ask Vbuzzer since they are the ones you are porting from? There is nothing FPL can do to control what happens at Vbuzzer.

On a side note, just as a FYI, if you port your active number from Rogers cellular, they close your account and bill you your early termination fee's. I really, really want to port my cell number to FPL, but there is no way I can get around that restriction with Robbers.

tbrummell is correct - you'll need to ask that question to Vbuzzer :)

That seems silly... I can see their logic in doing this, but at the same time I'd offer the option to keep the account active and slap on a new phone number. That way, people can port out as wanted, but you have the option to keep your "Robbers" (lol) account so they can keep getting money from you... oh well. :(
