He may not need to port his number, I've just ben looking at my call provider, and according to the new compay (
www.1899.com) their service is avalable to most UK landline owners, you just dial a freephone number before you dial the number you want to call.
And at .5p per min to landlines, it's a great deal.

I immediately got the message: 'The number you have dialled has not been recognised' after just dialling 1899.
If you are dialling the 1899 prefix please ensure you are calling from a BT line; only BT landlines in the United Kingdom or Northern Ireland can use our service via the 1899 code.
NTL, Telewest, Kingston Communications, Jersey Telecom customers and any other landline provider or mobile customers should use 0808 170 7474 to make a call.
Callers from the Republic of Ireland unfortunately cannot register for our service.

As for Internet service providers, there are several as Dezzo or Monkey-breath pointed out that are available to Ntl customers. It really should be that hard to find alternative suppliers. Like others also pointed out, there is also BT. I found the switch relatively painless, maybe if your that fed up its time to look again.
