Business phone package

Hi All

I have just changed over to operate as a limited Co I need to change the phone line to the Ltd Co and my mobile is up for renewal of contract who is the best provider for this package I could also include the broadband as the office is separate from the house.

I need:
Landline that can be diverted to the mobile at time and allows for third party international calls (I use 18866 at present)
Mobile i phone 4
Broadband supply (possibly)

Is there a web site that I can check this out on or have some of you recently checked all this out.

Thanks

Dave

    Just a thought but if you need an iphone package could you just bump up the number of minutes and data allowance (if you can use it as a wifi hub) and use that? Check out something like the One Plan on Three though I don't know if that allows tethering or not.

    Business landline charges seem to be very costly for light users, though I guess you might use yours more than I do.
  • Another option would be to look at using VOIP rather than a landline.

    With the company we use we can log in online and change the redirection of the phone to a mobile any where any time, likewise have it set up so that if it doesn't get answered within X rings that it then trips over to mobile. International calls are certainly massively cheaper than with any landline provider I've seen.

    We simply pay £2 a month for a geographic telephone number, plus we have a USA telephone number, and then its PAYG for calls etc.

    With VOIP you can also get a softphone for a smart phone so you could make your calls via the VOIP line, and receive calls directly rather than diverting, rather than over your mobile network.
  • Hi

    Thanks for the replies, I will check out the one plan a bit later, although the landline is not used much but is required for the internet I am on Orange for my mobile at the moment and the download seems so slow compared to the landline download speed. That may be an issue with orange I am not sure!!

    I like the sound of the voip option as at teh moment I have free landline calls on my mobile that is great but I don't see that offered at the moment with Orange. I will try to contact Orange and ask if they do a package to cover all communications from this office and mobile.

    Again thanks for all the help

    Regards

    Dave
  • I would also recommend VoIP - we have both local 01x numbers as well as 03x numbers which are national numbers included in all call plans.

    These can be diverted to a variety of numbers landline, mobile, international etc.
