I like the idea of migrating the existing number -

For Mark: Can you/your supplier handle migration?

VoIP market in Britain, but one tough decision still has to be taken Ofcom
has begun to lay out the future for commercial voice over IP (VoIP)
services
in the UK. The communications regulator announced on Monday that Internet
telephony service providers will be able to offer both geographic and
non-geographic numbers to their customers. Geographic numbers will begin
with 01 or 02, like today's existing fixed-line telephone numbers. This
will
allow consumers to shift onto a VoIP service but retain their existing
number, or choose another that indicates where they are located. "
