BT to BT, yes. Virgin to Virgin, yes. (if the same code)
From one to the other, no.

We were going from BT to BT.
Still wasn't possible.

How come?

Customer incompetence.

Different exchange, apparently.

You must be a walkover.

You most certainly CAN transfer BT to Virgin.
My folks did it over 10 years ago BT-NTL, and friends here have done it too.

Maybe it was just here

Why did I think this was a good idea?
All to get a better look at the girls' high school front door of Ms Official

Pffft.
More than one reason to move is good. You'll be pestered for photos on here though. I've always thought the ideal relationship was one person in one house and the other in the adjoining one.

That is the correct way
That way you can hear two doors slam
