VoIP number porting can be possible. I have done it between Vonage and
voip.co.uk and I think it was made easier because they used the same carrier
(Gamma). It is worth checking the carrier out the carrier of your number in
the UK phone code locator ([url]www.ukphoneinfo.com[/url]) and finding a good provider
using the same carrier to stand a better chance of porting.

So are you saying you did get an e-mail notice about a failed payment
for your incoming number and failed to act on it? In which case it is
down to you, sadly.

All operators are required to support porting numbers away from them.
