How can I get a cheap 0845 or equivalent number?

Hi,

Rather than publish our own home phone number in an advert in the newspaper, we wanted to look at getting another number temporarily that would forward onto our home number.

I already have an 0871 number - which I use purely to give to companies that insist I give a contact number so as to discourage cold calling. Obviously don't want to make people call me on that though!

I've tried searching the forums and looked through the articles, but can't seem to find any info. It's so long ago that I got my 0871 number I don't even know who it is with. How can I get a cheap 0845 or even geographical number allocated to me, that will forward to my home number?

Many thanks.

Free Geo Number. www.orbtalk.co.uk just need to put in £5 credit so you can divert it to your home number or even your mobi.

Thank you so much, that's ideal :T

Edit : hmmm, have just looked on the site, and I can't seem to find the relevant section. The PAYG bit is talking about internet telephony, and the other sections don't seem to have the relevant options in there. I am probably being daft - is there a specific terminology I should be looking for?

Thanks agian. That was my first instinct, but the PAYG section talked about internet telephony so it threw me. I'll have a look again now.

Brilliant site! Took no more than 5 mins to sign up, buy £5 credit, setup forwarding to my home number, and the new number was active straightaway
