Leaving PlusNet but keep e-mail account and landline number

I'm an existing PlusNet customer (ADSL copper broadband and landline phone), but am now looking to leave as we have Ultrafast broadband in our area. I have signed up with Sipgate basic and currently have a temporary VOIP phone number with them. I would also like to retain my PlusNet email mailboxes after the migration.

I'm a little confused in what order I should do everything! I don't actually have the ultrafast connection up and running yet, so obviously that will be first. I then need to port my existing landline number from PlusNet to Sipgate (initiated by Sipgate, I believe), let PlusNet know I'd like to keep an e-mail-only account, and finally cease my PlusNet broadband/phone services and stop paying for them. What would be the best way to proceed?

Thanks - had found that thread.

I was after advice on what *order* to do things in really, i.e. ask Sipgate to port phone number, ask PlusNet to go to e-mail-only account, ask PlusNet to cease landline/ADSL service etc.

I think sipgate once you complete the order will port your number ansd cease plusnet but in the meantime ask plusnet to change to email account only. Best of luck
