Ok Ok

the only current number that I can be reached on is my mobile number. I appreciate that this may well but potential clients off

What would people suggest is the best most cost effective route to go regarding contact numbers?

Get an 0800 number
get a 2nd line

have them diverted to my mobile?

Regards

Pete

I wouldn't call a mobile number. You would be better off with a landline number if you can.

Sandra,

It was your thread that prompted my question to be honest
it has just taken my poor old frazzled brain this long to post my thread

what are the costs invloved after the trial

Mobile phone nos only also puts me off.

A good solid landline number/fax number is good and a freephone number is even better! hehe

Its starting from £15 a month but that includes a certain amount of inclusive calls I think, but check the website as I cant remember despite it only being last week! My brain was fried with numbers!!

You can forward to landline, mobile and change as you come and go, via the online management. Its got other features too so you can actually make and receive calls via your computer of you have Mic and speaker, plus CallMe buttons and allsorts.

what number did you go for? You can also choose a free fax 0800 number which converts faxes to emails.

Hi Pete

Why not have a look at voipfone.co.uk as you only pay 99p per month plus vat for a number and have have all sorts of other features built into the package. I have been using mine now as a dedicated inbound for 4 lines and have had no probs at all and really pleased with it. Theres no minimum contract term so you can always cancel whenever aswell

what's the call quality like Maxine? Last time I used VOIP it was very poor quality.
