How transferring your numbers works:
Since 2003, landline telephone numbers can be kept. This is because the customer has a right to keep his/her number in case of a change of operator.
For geographic numbers (01, 02, 03, 04, 05), a transfer is possible insofar as it concerns the same geographical area with the same dialling code. So a number associated with the Paris area cannot kept if a company moves away from Paris.
For non-geographic landline numbers (numbers beginning with 09 or special rate numbers starting with 08), there is no such restriction.

The legislative framework does not allow a donor operator to refuse a transfer except in a limited number of specific cases. Specifically, a commercial or contractual dispute cannot prevent a transfer.
Since a transfer leads to the termination of service with the donor operator, two points must be taken into account:
