Getting an additional line help please!!

Hi All,

I already have a bt home number that i use to advertise my business, I am always on the go so I have to divert it to my mobile which is a pain to do all of the time.

What I would like is to have an additional line and divert that to my mobile as well as keeping my home number for private use and for the family.

Bt quoted me £30 installation fee and £14 a month for it.

Any ideas on anything better?

I basically need a virtual line. I dont need to be able to answer it at home just want to divert it to my mobile.

Thanks

    Might be cheaper. Redirect to mobile was 9.9ppm (may have gone up since, check tariffs) and you can configure it online to divert/hunt different numbers etc.

    You sign up and choose a virtual number - which can match your area STD code, and then put £10 of credit on it

    Might be worth a try before committing to a physical line, and it's more flexible.

    A company that has been around for a long time providing virtual numbers.
    You can choose an 01/02 local number.
    It can be redirected to a mobile for 10p per minute.
    You simply buy prepaid credit.

    The £30 install offer requires an 18 month contract.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
