0845 numbers

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.
 
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.
