Changing business number to personal

[Morgie36]

I'm about to leave my company due to redundancy but would like to keep my number. The company contract runs until March 2022 and they have around 80 numbers registered (of which about 50-60 will be switched off due to redundancies).

Can the company just pay off the contract for my number to be able to keep it or does it have to pay off all contracts/numbers to keep just one (which would obviously be prohibitively expensive).

(I've hunted through the the boards and can't quite get the answer I'm looking for, but please redirect me if I missed something!)

It would depend on how the contracts were set up in the first place.

You would need to speak to your enterprise manager or O2 business customer sevices on 8002.

Alas, Procurement will handle that as I don’t deal with it. My alarm bells went off when HR said it would be too expensive before anyone had even asked O2, so just wanted to see if this was true.

They do need to ask @Morgie36 

I know in our company that we can port out individual numbers without effecting the overall contract but it does depend on the individual T&C's.
