What all voip, etc. carriers do phone number portability?

Question by dhampton82: What all voip, etc. carriers do phone number portability?
My dad has had the same home phone number since like 1978. He now wants to try out a voip or similar to try to save some cash. However, he says that it is not an option unless he can take his number with him. Please let me know who all will let him take his number as far as internet phone companies go!

Number portability is what your talking about. You need to ask the VoIP provider if your POTS number is portable to their VoIP system. Some are and some aren’t.
