Can you keep your same landline phone number when switching to starlink

Replies (1)

Usually yes, if a telephone provider can port your particular number. Changing your internet to Starlink does not automatically transfer your landline number. You can either keep a separate existing telephone service, where available, or ask a VoIP telephone provider to transfer the number and carry calls over your Starlink connection. Confirm that it supports your number and location before ordering. Let the new telephone provider arrange the port, and keep the old phone service active until it confirms completion. Your existing handset may need a compatible telephone adapter, or you can use an IP phone or app supplied/supported by the VoIP provider. Check charges, emergency-calling arrangements and power-cut behaviour. Ask the old provider whether porting would also cancel bundled broadband. If an alarm or medical device uses the line, check compatibility with its provider before switching. Which country and telephone provider are you with? Please do not post your phone number or account details publicly.
