Cheapest way to divert calls to mobiles
Comments

Yet another approach, a new option from O2:
They are about to launch (in August, they say) a service for their business acounts called Fixed Number Anywhere, which gives a landline number, £10 a month for a local area code, £15 for a freephone number.
For people porting in an existing BT number, and setting up a new O2 account for this, that monthly fee is waived.
Calls to that landline number can be answered directly on a mobile, without any cost per minute for the call forwarding. For businesses with several mobiles, the landline can be set up to be answered on any of them.
http://dnc.o2.co.uk/home/2009/07/landline-mobile.htmlMore information will be available on www.o2.co.uk/business"> in the next week.
It could be a great prospect for those people on the thread saying that they spend hundreds of pounds a year on diverting their landline
I've also started a thread about this in the Mobiles board

Interested in this O2 landline option. Any views on the business mobile contracts and their value for money (I'm not an O2 user at present)? Also, I only have one BT landline and I don't want all my personal calls being diverted to my mobile, just my business calls. I believe I can put a second number on my BT line for £2.50. Could I then move this number over to O2, sign up for a new contract and so get this new service for free?0
