The way I do it is through TalkTalk.
You pay £3 a month (or something like that) this is for the call divert service to be active. The you get a special bolt on thingy (again just a few quid) that allows 500 FREE minutes to the same number! I.E. your business mobile number!
I went from paying over £100 a month to just a max of £30. This includes all calls, line rental, internet, taxes, calls diverted etc.
Not sure if BT or other have this "bolt on" but worth asking!
Hi Carpet Dawg...
Could you elaborate on this 'bolt on' thingy
What is it and where do you get it ?
Just rang Talk Talk and its all a bit confusing...put thro to an Indian call centre and the guy told me the divert service is free, gave me the codes etc but told me I was liable for the cost of the calls. OK
I hung up and had a quick look at the Talk Talk website and it says the divert service is £4.10 per month...doesnt say if you have to pay for the calls though ?
All a bit confusing

Call talktalk before 4pm (I think, maybe earlier) and you get an English call centre. Well at least you used to a year ago last time I needed to call them.
You pay for the call divert to be set up and operational on your line. Again, its only a few quid a month. THEN instead of paying for the diverted calls you receive, the minutes come off of the "500 free minutes" bolt on. So technically, you wont be paying for any diverted calls! Just the calls divert feature (few £ a month) and the bolt on (again a couple of quid).
I'm not at home for the next few days so cant get a hold of a paper bill, so not sure of the exact name of the "bolt on". I'll check when I get back but try talktalk again and you might get some luck if you speak to someone with a couple of brain cells
