I'm seriously thinking about taking up Virgin on their £25 a month tariff and getting a free BB Bold 9700. Looks like I'd actually get 3G coverage at home consistently with them as opposed to O2.

I'm also liking the idea of free calls from the Virgin landline to my phone.

My question is the following: Is it still the case that when your port a number across from another mobile network, the number is still, as landlines are concerned, owned by the original network and in which case I wouldn't be able to take advantage of the free calls?
