Telephone companies have to pay for and reserve phone numbers in bulk, so if you port (bring) your old phone number with you, you don't have to wait until they purchase phone numbers in your city.
Actually, in order to port your number, Vonage has to have numbers available in the same rate centre as the number that you are porting from. The same rule applies to telcos and other Voip providers.

For those of you in the 905 area, I noticed today that there are now more local exchanges to choose from including Brampton, Mississauga (Streetsville), Ajax, Pickering, etc.
In order to change your number for free, call Vonage customer service (don't do it online) and explain to them that you want a local exchange in your area. I was able to do that successfully.
Ajax 905 Burlington 905 Cooksville 905 Hamilton 905 Malton 905 Markham 905 Oakville 905 Port Credit 905 South Pickering 905 St. Catharines 905 Stoney Creek 905 Streetsville 905 Barrie 705 Kitchener/Waterloo 519 London 519 Ottawa 613 Toronto 416 Toronto 647
they came in around 9:00 am today
