Depends what country

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

In the UK numbers are portable, though the telco wanting the number must
have a porting agreement with the telco that has the number. Not all
telcos have porting agreements.

Can do.

Same in France. If the number is an original France Telecom one, no
problem. If the number was _already_ ported, can be a problem. In all
other cases, I would suggest you to check if there is an agreement
between telco.
In Poland, not possible today, should be end 2008/begining 2009.

I think it would be a good idea to start an item in the Wiki about this.
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

Mexico will have portability starting July 5th of this year. It is
limited to PSTN to PSTN and Cell to Cell
within the same geographic region. In this case, PSTN includes the new
phone service provided by the
Cable TV companies and other players. The final rules are still in
flux, but it seems once you switch you will have to wait 6
months before you can switch again. The process, no surprise here, will
be encumbered by strict documentation
requirements.
How well it will work is anyones guess. Telmex still owns the bulk of
the "last mile" to homes, and I have yet to
see anything that says they will have to provide access to their
competitors. Cable companies will have an advantage here
as they already have homes wired to their network. The electric
companies (state owned) are joining the game by leasing
bandwidth on their grid, but it's currently limited to other carriers.
As good as their electric service is, I wouldn't be surprised
to be "shocked" by the quality of the calls on their grid.
The real battle will be in Cell service. While Telmex has a 70%+ market
share, 70%+ of that is prepaid with no
contractual obligations. If the authorities oversee this as well as
they did changing long distance carriers a few years back, I expect
that i'll be back with Telmex within weeks of switching without having
requested the change. Still, it's progress.
