Mobile phone divert
« on: July 24, 2014, 09:15:51 am »
I'm sure I read on here last year that mobile phone companies can lift your landline straight to a mobile is that still the case? Has anyone got it or used this and what do you think of it?

Not sure about that, but Orange did promise me the earth a few years ago if I changed to them with the landline then only to find out I couldn't divert to a landline, I ended up having to take legal action against Orange

You can divert any number to any number with this method - http://help.sky.com/talk/receiving-calls/divert-calls-to-another-phone

If you are diverting from a sky landline to a mobile with this method you will have to call them first to activate it and they charge about £2.50 a month for it. I presume you will have to do the same with other landline providers.

My "office" landline is with BT and like Stuart is virtually on permanent divert to my mobile. Customers who ring it, don't know that they are being connected to the mobile as there is no message or delay at their end. I can un-divert it as and when I please, although I usually just switch the mobile to silent overnight. Customers ringing then will get my usual answerphone message.
If there isn't enough time to do the job right,  how do we find the time to go back and do it again when the customer is not happy ?   Do it right the 1st Time.

you could use a device thats called a Burnside it plugs into you BT socket and you put a chip into it and it diverts calls free as mobile to mobile is free. we used one for years and it saved us thousands. we now using fake BT numbers that go straight to mobile.

with all mobile you will need to keep checking coverage in your area. you be amazed at how many comments we get about carpet cleaners not picking up or be able to connect. they are unaware they missing calls. We audit our diverts and calls received each month, yet another great use of data.

I have a Bt 0800 number, which is permanently on divert to my mobile, so no land line ever needed, and not area dependant.
Around 70/75 a quarter, depending on calls recieved

Mr B
If in doubt.....Leave it out !!
