willnz: What's the process to get my current Telecom number ported over to VFX? Can I do this online or do I have to call?

-  Access requirements met:  e.g. 2nd line, alternate access, no open service orders… etc

-  Customer is informed and understands impacts of Porting their number(s)

-  Customer Authorisation / Voice Verification or written

For Porting Admin, we need…

-  Current Service Provider

-  Account Number

-  Account Name

-  Existing Service Address

-  Port Date / Time  (Port Activations can only occur from Mon – Fri between 9am & 4pm)

-  Contact Name

-  Contact Number

VFX Info - Is this going to replace your current VFX number or a New Line ? etc

Some of these things may have changed slightly in the 4 weeks since my number was ported.

And Yes, you will need to call so the team can go through the Voice Verification process with you (the call is recorded -- after you give your permission -- to act as the agreement between you and WxC).

Cheers,
Grant.

richms: How many numbers can you have on on vfx connection?

richms: Whats the charge for additional numbers?

Grant17:

Once porting is completed, you can kiss goodbye to the $20 per month Customer Link charge

Not to mention the 5c per minute incoming call charge. This is going to be fantastic, I can choose a decent number on any exchange in the same LICA, then port it to VFX (which I'll hopefully be able to use natively with Asterisk soon!)

Now, time to work on making my monitored alarm talk to Asterisk and sending me an SMS to my newly-ported 027 vodafone when the alarm goes off. God I love number portability.

willnz: Cool, just managed to find myself a decent YXX XXXX number (eg: 911 1111), and chucked it on my account as a customer link number. Port to VFX here I come! :)
