Phone line for business

angieanguk

I have a small business which originally I ran from home but it has grown rather quicker than I imagined. I am now working from my husband's business address and currently only have a mobile number on my website. Ideally I need a landline for people to ring on either one which will go through my husbands business VOIP phone but with some facility to show that it has come through on my number and not his number (hope this makes sense) - he is with BT for work. Alternatively, we are with TalkTalk at home and it might be a possibility to have a second phone line at home but which could be forwarded to my mobile. Any advice would be appreciated.

Have a look at Sipgate.co.uk or dmclub.net, both offer very cheap VoIP landline numbers.

Paddrg, Sipgate seem like an awful company, dmclub are new to me.

I'm also looking for a reliable VOIP for business, primarily to forward to a mobile number.

Do you have experience of either of the above?

I use and am very happy with Voipfone, and many of my business contacts use it too. I pay £2.40pm for my 'office number' which is constantly diverted to my mobile and shows the callers number, or I can pay an extra pound or so to set it up so I know it's diverted from the office number.

Thank you all - I have just spoken with someone at Voipfone who was very helpful - just in the process of setting an account up with them.

Really? PAYG-based packages and non-expiring credit, ability to create complex dashboards to track and make calls and dialing groups etc. I've used them for nearly a decade, or I wouldn't have suggested them!

dmClub similarly I've used, but more sporadically. You used to be able to buy premium number redirects through them which was handy for one project :-)

Based on what? I too have used them for over ten years, never any issue.

That's great thanks, user feedback always more trustable than anonymous reviews.

I read about Sipgate ceasing UK PAYG VOIP back in 2014, and they are obviously still up and running. As a business user I would be rather bothered if my number was going to be out of action due to supplier 'issues', hence the request for feedback.
