    I read some place that Eircom are now NOT letting you transfer your existing number to an alternate supplier.
    (i.e. Digiweb Metro, Magnet etc, were you probabily want to cancel the Eircom line).

    Is this true?

    Are they allowed?

    Who decides it costs 50 Euro?

    Maybe a variation on a theme of the Smart broadband saga. Doesn't seem to be any problem porting number to the likes of Blueface. No fee either. Not that I've heard of anyway.

    It's only when the line is being LLUd.

    It is true. Smart & Magnet have this problem. Digiweb Metro & Blueface don't appear to (because the line is being ceased, not unbunlded). Eircom claim that they use the phone number to identify the physical line (even though 2 different engineers have told me otherwise).

    They are allowed (as there's no proper LLU framework in place, despite LLU being introduced years ago).

    Eircom decide, having reached agreement with ComReg.

    I presume it's obvious who's to blame here!
