I think TM can clarify about the need to give up old telephone number when getting Unfii.
One of neighbours enquired with TM about subscribing to Unifi and was told that he cannot maintain the old telephone number and he will be given a new number. He told them that this was a deal breaker and he didn't want to subscribe to Unifi anymore if he had to change the number.
However, the next day someone from TM call back and told him that he can maintain current landline by:
1. Register for Unifi with new phone line
2. Cancel existing Streamyx but maintain old telephone line for one month
3. Then they can do the switch from 2nd month onwards....i.e, old telephone number will be ported into Unifi number.
4. From 2nd month onwards there won't be any rental charges for old telephone - only Unifi package charges.
I think TM needs to clarify this. Their own salespeople are unaware of this. Obviously all the resellers selling Unifi will not have any clue at all that there is a possibility of maintaining old telephone number! The cost is only one month rental for all telephone line.
(Sorry for the repost - thought it would be good to get a reply on the "official" Unifi topic).
If this is true then I will apply for UniFi also.
I did asked at TM Point before regarding this. They said can maintain existing number. But I worry they misunderstand me as TM called me as I registered my interest, the spoke person told me cannot.
Think I have to go to TM Point clarify again.
