Hey guys,

A gentleman who I subcontract work for wants me to purchase a telephone line in order for him to direct clients directly to me. It's essential that the line has a local area code or at least an 0845 number.

I was looking into Vonage and was wondering if anybody had used it before and how good it is at it's job.

I need the following:

Non-Mobile Number.
Voicemail.
Caller ID.
Call Waiting.
Call Divert if busy/not answered. It will go to my work mobile.

Any help/advice welcome as I need to provide him with prices within the next couple of days.

Cheers
Tim

Thanks Punkie,

I do feel abit cheeky so I'll bite my tongue while PM'ing him

 

Tell him I gave you his name...he should be a pussycat after that

Hes a nice guy...very kind and more than happy to help (as you can see by Stus thread)

 

Yeh in my PM I have said you'll buy him lots of booze and plenty of loving...



Thanks

 

No worries

 

Rather than loads of expense dude, set your self up with a SIP account.

You can then have an 0845/0870 or indeed a local number and forward it off to a mobile or land line easily. It offers all you need buddy! I think!

 

Excellent, I'll have a readup on that, amazed that it appears to cost me nothing though, I guess they make their money from the incoming calls.

Cheers Lee I shall see what the gaffer says.

Just check mate to ensure how much they charge for forwarding calls....
I do use these guys and forward out an NGN (0870) to my mobile and have never topped it up as yet.
When my mobile logs onto my home access point I can actually make calls as if I was that 0870 but out on the internet.

All pretty cool stuff to be honest
