business line- diverting to mobile

I`ve got my business number whereby all calls divert to my mobile, as being in the office bores the !!!!!! off me.
But I then pay the call charges from my office to my mobile, which gets a bit steep, is there any thing I can do to reduce this cost? Regards.
Titch :)

    Get an answerphone put on the landline. Get one which can be interrogated, then call it from your mobile in the off-peak period to listen to messages.

    Or you could leave an outgoing message on the answerphone to the effect that you are not in the office right now, but can be contacted on mobile number.

    I have a great service from Contactnumbers.com (not advertised apparently)

    I have an 0870 number which diverts to my office line.
    If I answer phone... works as normal
    2. If i'm on line or not around to answer it diverts to a message service
    (so far all as normal)... but...........
    The message service I can programme myself to say
    press 1. for...... ?
    press 2. for......?
    press 3. for......? etc..
    & if I want press 5 [e.g] to speak to operator which then diverts to a landline or mobile and you can speak to client etc...

    now big deal is as follows:
    I can reclaim messages left as normal [password etc] but also..the messages left on answer machine are automatically sent as a WAV. File to any email address...

    Also if i wish i can pay little bit extra & receive an immediate SMS to my mobile saying you've received a call from telephone number- xxxxxx

    Works for me!
    They're on 0871 919 0047 during week
    something missing
