Thanks so much for that excellent further explanation.
That is a real shame though! So it's not possible to even port any number to one of the newer cheaper MVNO's. I wonder how Tschibo, Aldi, Blau and Fonic feel about this? After all surely they are aiming at people as a contract replacement and who are already established mobile phone users and are likely to have a number they wish to keep! I wonder who is blocking this then. If it is the other networks, surely this is a case of the bigger networks stifling the competition? If so perhaps it is a case for him to send a letter to the EU Directore-General for Competition? (Well if they have managed it against Microsoft, why not T-Mobil or Vodafone
)
