Gradwell can also turn ported numbers into fax to email numbers, for a
fee of £10 + £20. (normal Fax2email setup charge + porting fee). They
can also port Energis numbers.

I hope not, this is a breach of OFCOM regulations.

No idea, was just something I read on uk.telecom.

It would explain why the termination charges to non-mobile mobile
numbers (and I don't mean personal numbers, I mean the ranges that
telephony services, Magrathea and energis own) are so high.

It would likely breach the OFCOM National Numbering plan. Numbers in the 07
range (outside of 070 "Personal numbers") are designated for Mobile
Services. This does not preclude Operators and Service Providers that do not
have GSM and 3G services from getting allocated numbers in these ranges but
they would have to show that they were for "mobile" services. There are for
instance some operators of Foreign GSM services that have UK numbers.

Presumably a handset with a SIP client wouldn't count? What is their
justification for this?

You would need a voip operator with a significant mobile network in
place. i can't think of any.
