Porting Fax Numbers

I'm finally giving up on Orange after twelve years.
I know that I can port my mobile number to whichever new company I choose,
but I also have an Orange Answer Fax number which is published on business
cards and various other places. Is it possible to take a fax number to a
new phone supplier as well?
Cheers,
Dave...

Yes. A single PAC can cover your voice, fax and data numbers.
If you port to Vodafone, you can sign up for a vodafone.net account
which gives you a combined voice/fax/email mailbox. When signing up
your separate voice mailbox number and fax number is replaced with a
single number that is used for voice and fax. So bear in mind if you
take this option you will end up losing your original fax number
anyway. I am unsure as to what options other networks offer.

An answerfax number isn't a real number, so the answer in no. If it was
a real MT fax number which caused your mobile to ring with "fax call"
then you could port it.

I see. An answerfax number is the same as a vodafone.net fax number
then as far as porting is concerned. I was right in yes you can port
a fax number, however you cannot port an answerfax number as this is
not a fax number in the conventional GSM sense.
