A tip for those who want to be "seen" in an area where they don't have a landline - Re Yellow Pages issue: "my phone number comes into the Faringdon (Swindon) area but most of my customers come from the Wantage ()..... but I don't show up in searches for Wantage. Grrrrr!" |

Thanks for this. I actually have a VOIP line anyway, but for some daft reason took a local (to me) prefix rather than an 0845 number. I live within the catchment area for the Swindon phone books but 2 miles down the road is the border for the Oxford phone book. I really don't want to have to have 2 numbers but can't find any way of the free Yell listing having me down for both Wantage and Faringdon!!! |

If you buy a second "landline" number from Gradwell you can point it your real number. The second landline will be listed in the main directory enquiries, I'm not sure about Yell. |

Why waste £3 a month when you can get one from sipgate.co.uk for free? |

There is no such thing as a free lunch. When TelePA launched in 2004 we were enticed by "free forever" 0845 numbers. The provider sold up within a year and in order to keep use of the numbers (which were then printed on letterhead, business cards etc) we were faced with a bill of £100 per annum. I'd rather deal with a supplier who makes a sensible profit for managing a service than a supplier who is building a resource for future sale !!! Anybody else have an opinion or similar experience? |

Hooray I wish more people would follow your lead here. 0845 nos and any other 08 number are a nightmare from mobiles and also from the free weekend and evening call lines that come bundled with many broadband packages. |

Mine is a Sipgate number and I've been very pleased with it so far .... though the menu for retrieving voicemails is a bit bizarre! |

Ah well, it's too late to change my number now. I might as well wait till they decide to charge me and then get a new one!! |

Judith, Sorry to take you away from the subject, we have a 0870 number for both our landlines and also fax's. I keep getting letters about the 0870 numbers being shut down or cancelled, or deemed as a standard rate call instead of some money coming back when ever anyone phones you... Any idea's on this, as its something which i think will start to cause us a few problems. |
