You reply to this post did not help the original poster with his question.
You asked for something that I am not sure is legal in the UK. I do not believe you can transfer landlines from one person to another without going through due process.
To avoid other people reading your post and perhaps beinng led into something illegal I have deleted the post.
Sorry,

I'm having to move my small office and am thinking of giving up my office landline and using my cell phone (Cingular) exclusively. I know that I can transfer my office landline phone number to my cell phone so I won't miss any calls.
But here is my one hesitation: once I drop my landline service with SBC, I will no longer be listed in the local white pages or in 411 directory assistance. This is not critical, but it is a convenience to those local people who might want to find me.
I'd appreciate any suggestions, especially from anyone who has encountered this situation before.
