Landline diverted to mobile?

Dear friends,
Please can anyone tell me whether I can purchase a landline telephone number/line but have the calls diverted to my mobile as I am starting a small business cleaning business.
I have tried the BT website but with not much luck.
Thanks

    I run a carpet cleaning business and have had BT call diversion for 18 years (to my mobile for must be over 10 years now). It's ideal for the one-man band.

    I'm same as dennis and run call divert to my mobile, adds about 1.50 a month to line rental plus cost of calls. Is easy enough to turn of and on if/when you need to.

  • Guys thanks very much for your help.
    Wish me luck for the new set up.
    By the way, what is the best for coffee or wine removal? Are my prices reasonable by the way?....My friend currently charges 70 quid for a room which is say 13 x 14 foot including the hallway, and then 40 pounds per bedroom after that. I was thinking of the same.
    Many thanks

    It should be there standard call charge rate, not sure tbh as mine isn't used that much (maybe a couple of £ a month). I had it more for my previous job where i was on call 24hrs a day.
