Virgin Mobile phone numbers are orginally allocated to T-Mobile UK although that could change now that it is one company with Orange and could find yourself with a Virgin Mobile number that starts like 07973,07979,07791,07581 ect....

Regardless of that, when someone ports from Orange to O2, an O2 customer calling that Orange ported number that has free calls to O2 mobiles will still get free calls, but if they port out of O2, they will be charged for that call.

Seems like a lot of hard work for the companies, thats why 3 and BT want termination rates to be scrapped, even though they were the ones that introduced them in the first place looool
