different phone number, like Google Voice

I'm about to advertise a car on Autotrader / Gumtree but am wary of using my own phone number as I just know I will get a torrent of insurance scam calls etc as soon as it is published. I'm aware that Google offer a service where they forward calls made to a number that is different to my own mobile number (Google Voice), but understand that this feature is not fully available in the UK. Does anyone know of another phone number service that I can use to include as my contact number in the adverts?

    Basic phone for a tenner (or you might have an old phone lying about) and a PAYG sim card

    Hmmm - that could work!  Nice & lo-tech.
