I am moving house due to a seperation, I need to transfer my landline number to A) my new house or B) my dads house in the same village. My dads house is in the same village - he already has a sky account. My new house is in the neighbouring village which technically has a different area code. do I a) cancel account at exisiting home b) transfer to new home c) ask dad to call sky and get this number added to him. Helpppp!!

So far as I'm aware Sky can only port (transfer) your number when you switch your existing phone service to another provider, or carry out a home move. Even then it's not always possible.
Sky can't add your number to an existing service on a different line.

@LandlineHelpPLZ I recently decided to have sky BB that meant phone as well, I enquired about this extensively, that it was very important I kept my same land line number, it was a must (well for my wife anyway) I was with bt even they told me that if I took out a new deal or reregistered as a new customer even they could not gaurentee keeping my same number and as @Mark39 stated ONLY when you move providers with same number be gaurenteed. hope this helps.
