Ofcom's advice on your next step
Landline Phones -
Changing or keeping your telephone number
Generally you can keep your landline phone number when you move house or premises within your local area. However you may not be able to take your number with you if you are moving out of the area.
It is likely that you will be charged a fee.
Speak to your provider about what facilities are available or shop around and ask other providers whether they can supply you with the service you want at your new address on your old telephone number.
