So we're getting a bit closer to making a move. As the copper line is *so* long to the area that ADSL or FTTC are pointless, I've gone down the 4g route for now. The locality is the Rural Broadband Voucher scheme but the length of the lane is probably a dealbreaker there I fear. Even if I did take a copper connection I don't believe I could transfer the current number onto it. We're currently on Newtownards exchange, the new place would be Millisle. They're both 02891 but different number ranges. I do want to keep the number regardless, I've had it for 30years and been trading from it for 20... How would one find out easily whether the number actually *could* move? Try and set up a house move and then cancel? But there's no line yet... But I think I'm more likely to just pull the number across to a VOIP service. There's a shedload of choice out there and I know nothing- is it all just re-selling? Any recommendations please? Only looking a single line, with low useage. Will be bringing the current DECT suite with us so don't need "free" phones, happy to purchase an interface. Gracias.

Probably like us you have had a power cut or two over the past couple of weeks - what fun. This set me wondering because in 3 weeks we will go over to a full fibre connection to Millstone manor and our land line will switch to Voice over Internet protocol (VOIP). With the traditional land line the power for the phone - ringing and speech is derived from the exchange so they stay working in a power cut. What happens to your VOIP phone in a power cut at you home I wonder, I assume it stops operating, and then what happens to your monitored alarm if the power fails because it can no longer warn you if you are out or inform the monitoring company if an alarm is triggered. Just solved the alarm problem by getting our alarm company to switch us to radio monitoring, but what about home security and emergency calls. Do I need a Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) I wonder and if so how big. -
Am trying a Vodafone 30 data SIM in a TP-Link 4 G router. I got it setup easily with a EE data only sim but Vodafone price is better (50G/£25) but I can't get it to work! Vodafone online help representatives as slow as treacle Anyone got one and know what you have to do to use it?
