yes, i looked into it a few years back

i opted for a LO-CAL number in the end ( which the company was crap and then wanted extra money off me, so i binned the idea )

just use my mobile now, 24 hour calls

i also dont buy into the " people dont call mobiles as you can be a pikey " as todays modern biz needs to be accessable 24 hours a day

i have a fax number aswell on my stuff

i have heard the arguement before on here

i disagree and whilst i must have missed out on some calls, i dont feel i have suffered in anyway only having the mobile / fax number and website

i do the same thing. I get very few calls on my mobile without diverting the landline number.
I am another who would never do business with a mobile number only.

Have a look at faxtastic.co.uk   I got a 0871 fax number for free from them.  People fax you and you receive it as an email.  The one thing about the free version is that you have to receive 1 fax every 3 months or they cancel your account.  You can pay £10 per year and not have that restriction, but I just fax myself!

I have no affiliation with them, I'm just a happy customer

Yes and you can

You can aslo change where the freephone number goes to.

Example...

Your at home - divert to the house phone.... time to go to work - divert it to your mobile.... busy at work - divert it to your house phone where someone can take a message for you.

Thats what I have and it works a treat. If you want an 0800 number my wife can get you a price. Just email me
Only those who risk going too far will truly know how far they can actually go

it costs you to receive calls that have been diverted from your landline to your mobile, at the landline to mobile rate. i wouldnt do it, but i am tight!  8)

We have just set up a landline over VOIP which comes with free voicemail from Skype. I agree that a mobile does look a little unprofessional as apposed to a landline. However its so much easier to pick up the mobile and take it with you. I have noticed that people are more likely to leave a voice message on a landline than mobile though.
