Call Divert

I have pay as you go basic Nokia phone with call divert facility and am on Virgin Network.

My question is :- If I were to divert incoming calls to my landline would the caller pay landline rates (if calling from a landline) and also would my landline number remain confidential. :confused::confused::confused:

I hope there might be one of you good people out there who may be able to help me. I think I am turning into a technophobe.

    you could change network and port your number over. if you do, then as far as i'm aware the caller still pays mobile rates and no your landline number is still private. call divert is chargable though.

  • as far as I'm aware, no pay-as-you-go network supports call diverting, however all pay-monthly pacakages do (including virgin contract)

    caller definately pays the same rate, and you pay the cost of the divert, although if you do have inclusive minutes to landlines then the call-diverts are usually included
