Thanks. I only have phone with them.

I think I have come up with a good solution, as follows:
1 Get BT to install new line. They currently have a free installation offer.
2 Port VM number to new BT line.
3 Transfer my O2 ADSL to the new line (which might improve my ADSL speed, as I will get BT to put my new master socket right next to my router, so my ADSL will no longer have to run down an extension cable).
4 Port my existing PO number to Vonage.

Under this procedure, I don't need to worry about timing the ports to be simultaneous and there should be little risk of losing the numbers. And there should only be a short loss of ADSL while they transfer to the new number. I end up with a BT line instead of a PO line, but that's fine by me.
