We can port the phone number out. Pending on the type of loop that you have, it should still be equipped for keeping your DSL. I doubt it though, if you lose your dial tone, you could lose your DSL as well. Also, if you decide to transfer your phone number over to FPL, you wouldn't be able to cancel your line with Bell until we have switched carriers over to us. This could cause you to be without service if they do in fact have to switch the loop type. If you ask for a dry loop with Bell, they could pull your facilities and you could lose your phone number. Could be a tricky situation this case. Might as well do a full switch and check out our bundles. :) If this is confusing, give us a call and we can explain it easier. 1.866.515.5550.
