this is a very good post. i have always wondered and tried to find a link like this.
but only one problem: only original network shows up. i've ported mine at least 10 times in 3 years....any idea of a link which updates with each port?
thanks

If there is such a site, seanjoe, I have not found it.
The main use of such sites is to gauge how a call to a mobile network will be charged from your landline.
In this context
porting is irrelevant, as landlines charge for mobile calls according to the original network to which its number was allocated. ( This is why it is a very good piece of advice to port an O2 or Vodafone number to '3', as this will save your friends money when calling your mobile from a landline in the week. )
Although I am not sure about this, I suspect that everybody uses the original network allocation because this information is freely available from Ofcom. I suspect that porting details are only shared between the mobile networks themselves, ( and that there may be data protection issues which prevent them from disseminating such information to other organisations or websites ).
In addition to the 2 new hyperlinks that I posted yesterday, it would be good to remind people of another useful site which was first posted by Dan
here, ( although he seems to have deleted it for some reason.

Moneysavings expert runs 2 such services: one for looking up international numbers, and the second for UK numbers.
