0845 numbers

[SimonMac]

I use www.just0845numbers.co.uk £2.50 a month to send to voicemail, £5 to send to a mobile, free to send to a landline

[minsky1]

I use SkyCom. (skycomuk.com)

Never had any trouble with them and its reasonable - £2.95 per number per month, plus calls forwarded.

Usually get hit with a £15 bill per month, but I consider its worth it considering the number of customers calling in and the flexibility. You can change thr routing number within seconds via the web interface.

Why not just get a Skype online number? If you've got a smartphone, drop the app on it, answer when connected to Wifi, if not let them leave a message and call back.

I think you can divert calls to VM, but if you've not got a subscription you pay about 1.5p a minute. Free with a subscription, but I don't know if the forwarded call comes out of your bundle, lowest cost is £7 a month (UK landline and mobile 60 mins).

I'll look into that when I get home, clientCo blocks the pages on it. I mean FFS, how am I meant to run plan b in this place!

Always a bit wary of skype on the phone as it seems to blast my battery if left on.

Don't forget 0845 number fall outside most peoples inclusive call packages so your customers end up paying more to call you. Really hacks me off when agents publish 0845 contact numbers.

i used these on a website i had and they seemed fairly good, never had any issues you can set the time and the days the calls can come through or go to answer phone and the divert to mobile worked well, and when i no longer needed the number i just cancelled with no hassle.

Although i suppose it depends on how many calls your getting whether its cost effective

0800 Numbers, 0800, 0845 Numbers, 0844 Numbers, 0871 Numbers, 03 Numbers, Telecoms World

They look cheaper and better so they are in pole position now. Cheers.

Tempted to get some floozie to record an answering message for me.

Can't believe there isn't a gadget to do this

Yup, I stopped using an 0845 just for that reason.

Depending on your 'product' and what type of 'sales calls' you receive, just go 0898 with all the rest of them

Well if anyone is looking for something a bit more 'specialist'...

Just software sadly, got a couple of sales already so I am ramping up the marketing.

Nearly fell off my seat when I seen the cost for that.

Assuming the number would eventually get onto some list and you would be getting sales calls on it (quickly told to f off) the numbers could stack up.

The problem arises with the divert to mobile, which can work out quite expensive.

Probably just run an answer message off it and call back.

Anyone have one or know a decent service in providing one?

Basically to provide a sales line which will forward onto a mobile.

Looked at UK2numbers but I don't know if they are resonable or not.

Cheers

There are loads on the net and you can do a fairly quick comparison with a quick google of 'free 0845 numbers'.
