Continuing from these lists, there are many Communication Providers out there who "host" their number ranges. This means that if you have a number you wish to port (for example, from Digital Mail), while we don't have a direct agreement with them, we are aware that they host numbers with Magrathea (who we do have a direct agreement with). This means numbers from Digital Mail are likely to be portable.
