It appears we are discussing porting of mobile numbers with iiNet (TPG) moving it’s customers from Optus to Vodafone. Not related to the NBN, but for those interested in TPG issues,
‘TPG- Service from hell
Is it a registered business for tax purposes, EG ABN, Sole Trader, Trading Name, ACN?
Previous experience with two of the Telcos and mobile accounts in business names is that they require full evidence of ownership or authority for the simplest of tasks. There are GST implications for the providers who usually identify business accounts and charges separately. iiNet may not have been as particular when you set up your original service. There are also strict requirements imposed on the Telcos to assure the identity and ownership of a service. (A bit if joke when it’s so easy for OS callers to obtain local mobile numbers or spoof caller ID’s.)
