Can I transfer my current landline to yahoo phone and drop the landline with verizon?

Question

I want to drop my landlaine but keep the number.

Answer 1

Yahoo Voice service does not "Port" local numbers (LNP) to their service.  And their selection of available phone numbers is very limited.

If you want to use a VoIP service that supports LNP (local number portability), and use their service on your PC with their free downloadable softphone, similar to Yahoo Voice, then you may want to try CallCentric.  CallCentric support LNP, their phone numbers (DID's) are only $1.95/month, only pay-as-you-go, and no contracts.  Call rates are only 1.98¢ per min to anywhere in USA/Canada/UK, parts of Europe and Asia.
