I rang VM but they told me they can't divert the old 01582 number to the new 01525 one and can't even put a message on the line to say the number has been changed (I was under the impression this was possible).

Is there any way I can keep the 01582 number active in some shape or form and have it diverting through to the new 01525 number so I don't lose any potential business?
You could move it to Vonage.

Have a look at the first question. The basic Vonage plan (UK Calls only) is cheaper than VM's Talk Unlimited plan by around £2 per month. So it could pay its way.
