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.

How do you keep your old phone number with a new cellphone?

Question by netosam23: How do you keep your old phone number with a new cellphone?
I changed my service from Virgin Mobile to T-Mobile, and I want to keep the same phone number I have. How do you do this? I called Virgin Mobile for my account number, but they are claiming my account number is the same as my Vkey, but I doubt this is right. How do you get to transfer your old phone number to a new phone? Thanks in advance.

Q&A: How do I keep my business phone number after I move?

Question by detailjay: How do I keep my business phone number after I move?
I own a small business and I keep getting relocated within the U.S. Because of this I have to change my business phone number and I am sure I am losing sales not to mention ticking off my current clients with an ever changing phone number. Can someone give me some advice as to how I should set up my business number so I don’t have to change it all the time preferably without an 800 number? Thank you for your time in advance!

I would sign up with a Vonage business account, and you can keep your number wherever you go. You could also sign up with an International number from a variety of countries if you wish. It will work wherever you have a high-speed Internet connection.
