voicemail/call divert

Hi,

I'm UK based but due to be working in Qatar from January for 1-3 years.

As I'm self employed, I want to keep in touch with any UK contacts. Therefore, I'd like to keep my UK mobile phone number. In addition, is there any phone provider that allows a personal message when the phone is switched off, whilst the voicemail is disabled (my Virgin deal doesn't allow this)? Ideally a pay as you go package, so I can keep the costs down? Otherwise, would it be extremely expensive to divert calls to a Qatari mobile?

Many thanks for your advice.
