The short answer is yes. By using and paying for a phone number you effectively own it and can port or transfer that number to the provider of your choosing. Having said that, a hosted system is in the cloud, so moving does not affect your ability to use the same number. Your number “points” to a hosted system that provides the functionality and then uses find-me/follow me or other features to parse calls to your cell phones, desk phones or voice mailboxes.
