That's what I did.  I rang Telecom and asked for a number change and custom link my current number as I'm going to Naked DSL and porting number over to Xnet Fusion, but the Telecom customer service person wouldn't budge - she claimed that's the first time she heard someone ring up and do it.  She even said to tell my new service provider (Xnet) that if they want my business they have to to the porting and NDSL setup completely, and I don't have to call Telecom at all whatsover.  Hence I'm kind of confused as to what I should do...

So, when I ring 123, and upon their interactive voice response prompt, do I just say "customlink my number and provide me with a temporary phone number please?"..

Any insights would be appreciated!.

Thanks!
