Why is such a useful service free of charge?

Our systems equipment benefits from massive economies of scale as we host numbers for many companies. We only offer this service free of charge to UK businesses. We are able to absorb the cost of managing this service for you because BT pays our company a small amount of money for each number that we connect.

There are no catches, no set up fees, no rental fees, no increases in your call charges or and monthly phone bill will not go up. These services are completely free for you to use, providing you are a UK based company.

I like it.

Works well.

You have to use it every now and then or you could lose the number.

I think of this as a consumer revenge over 0870/0845 numbers, I only ever give companies the 0844 number now.

First it tries my land line then if no reply my VOIP and then that takes a message if they leave one.

But the icing on the cake is if they withhold thier number I get an Email telling me the number that called, great.

I am not, I don't even work but I lied and told them I was a bussiness.

I can see a downside to this. Calling 0844 numbers can be very expensive for some mobile users. O2 charge 20/25p.
