    The other alternative would be to get BT to put an annoucement on your old number redirecting them to your new number, i believe this works out cheaper.

    Have you got a residential line or a business line?. I understand BT will let you chose number for a business line.
  • do the 2 premises have the potential to be served by a cable-company ?

    Having read the string of emails on BT Remote Call Forwarding Numbers I can confirm the prices are between £106 - £115 per Quarter, call charges are upward of 5p per minute for redirecting to your new number. This service is only for people looking to receive calls on their old numbers - they are inbound only.
    I work for a company that can manage this process through a BT wholesale channel & only charges £19.95 per month, with calls at under 4p per minute. Just Google us (xxxxxxx) anyone can help you. Rgds Scott

  • I had the same problem so I went to a company called 5G Communications in High Wycombe they moved my number out of the BT exchange and even managed to make me some savings!

    I spoke to a girl called Lucy who sorted it all quicker than BT were willing to and I didn't have to divert my number.

    I hope this helps!
