Recent legislation in France (and perhaps this means the EU?) have made it so.

How does a person in Europe go fully VoIP and still keep the main number?

This is exactly what we are in the process of doing. We have asked our
provider to port our main phone number to their ipbx. I have used the
same people for IAX origination/termination so I presume that if we
don't like the ipbx we can go back to asterisk here or hosted and they
will be handling those calls.
It can't be said enough how important it is for a business to control
the destiny of its phone numbers. I feel these should be possible to
handle like domain names where you can buy one for life by renewing
it. Not quite the case today, but we get the same effect by paying a
fee each time we need to port the number.

Do they use call forwarding?

I shopuld have mentioned too, that if you run your own asterisk you
can of course just be connected to your number(s) and deal with it all
in the dialplan. This is exactly where I am today. Tomorrow, we'll
have ported the number to a service provider in order not to have to
leave an asterisk box running in an empty office, which is the case
now. |

Incidentally, in France my Internet provider (Neuf) will pay for your
cell number to be ported. I'd be suspicious of anyone who wanted me
that badly  |

Can anyone else chime in for their countries??
Others in the EU, Eastern, Far East?
So Far I have:
Australia: PSTN to PSTN and Cell to Cell are OK , but Cell to PSTN and PSTN to Cell are NOT OK. Dean Collins
Poland: Not Today but possibly in 2009 Daniel
UK: Portable if Telco has a porting agreement. Not all Telco have agreements in place. Steve Kennedy
France: Porting from France Telcom to another provider not an issue, however if porting between other Telco's, Telco's must have porting agreement between them. Randulo

In the UK numbers can be ported between fixed operators and mobile
operators, but not (yet) between mobile and fixed (but then the
distinction is blurring).
