Is it possible to obtain a 01/02 standard landline number without having a lindline installed . I only use my mobile and don't really required a home phone but could do with a standard number for my business as some customers don't like calling mobile numbers . If it is possible to obtain a number whats the cheapest way of doing it and what sort of charges would i have to pay to link this number to my existing mobile number .All advice welcome .
regards Hillendale :beer:

I use http://www.orbtalk.co.uk/ they normally charge 10p a minute peak and 5p evening and weekends. (Unless your on 3 when its dearer).
The number is free,call divert is free,voicemail is free.0 -
You could also look at a voip solution, run it through an ATA (analog telephone adapter) such as the Linksys PAP2 or SPA-3102.
Take a look at the forums on wwwvoxilla.com for more info on the whole VoIP thing.
Sipgate.co.uk and Voiptalk.org are companies that I've used in the past, VoIPtalk were particularly good. With sipgate you can choose the area code for your number, voiptalk give you a 0207. Coms.com are another good company, just started up not all that long ago.

It's no one not noone, It's a lot not alot, It's got not gotten... Panini is the plural of panino - there is no S!!(OK my English isn't great, the sciences, maths & IT are my strong points!)0 -

Although OP doesn't have a landline so no ADSL broadband. Would be OK if OP has got cable broadband. OP really wants calls to the 01/02 number routed to the mobile.0 -
hillendale I have also sent you a PM.
Will work without the need of any equipment, or broadband, but still using VoIP as the incoming local number and divert proportion to the mobile.It's PAC not PAC Code, it's MAC not MAC Code, it's PIN not PIN Number, it's ATM not ATM Machine, it's LCD not LCD Display, it's DVD not DVD disc...

Voiptalk are dearer then Orbtalk for diverting calls to mobiles on basic package.0

Can you PM me too, BexTech? I want a geographic number which can be diverted at will to different landline numbers. All the services I've seen want huge set-up and call costs.hillendale I have also sent you a PM.

At a pinch I'd take an 0845 or 0870 number, but I'd rather not.0 -

www.orbtalk.co.uk free to set up etc will charge you 1p a minute to divert to 01/02 numbers.0 -
That's a really unhelpful website, but thanks for the link!
They don't make it clear that:
- you can divert incoming to a landline; or
- what the rates are for such diversion.
I note that the 1p you refer to is also the charge for outgoing calls from VOIP to landline - is it definitely the same charge for diverting incoming calls to landline? I suppose there's no real reason why it should be different.0
