In the past it was never possible to route calls to a 0800 / 0845 / 0870 numbers to your mobile telephone. Now you can select your number and then administer divert directly to your mobile. The only option previously was to route these calls to a UK fixed landline number and then divert your calls from that number to your mobile. The problem with this is that you need a line on rental at high price simply doing nothing other than diverting these calls.
But now situation has changed. You can divert 0800 free phone numbers easily and cheap. For example if you routinely divert incoming calls to your mobile when you leave your office then inbound calls to your landline made on your 0800 numbers will follow the divert to your mobile. Your 0800 numbers will automatically follow any diverts set up on your landline.
A 0800 numbers can divert up to 5 landline numbers which can ring sequentially if one is busy or does not answer. Ultimately, if there is no response, a voicemail message can be recorded and sent to your specified email address as a WAV file attachment that can be played in Windows Media Player. Numbers and timing are all configurable by us at your request.
With 0800 numbers you can have the following diversion options:
• Diverts to Mobiles.
• Diverts to 180 countries.
• FREE virtual switchboard
• Includes full call records on web
• Voicemail notification by SMS
Nowadays you can easily divert calls to our Live Answering Service (a receptionist will answer the call on your behalf and email/sms you the message and contact details of the caller). This is an add-on service.
There is also an option for 0800 numbers to be diverted direct to mobile phones. However, if you wish to be able to "switch on and off" the divert at different times of day, you will need to use the divert function with your existing landline number (contact your telephone service provider for details on how to divert your normal incoming calls to mobiles). Please note, the connection of 0800 numbers to a UK mobile number (eg. Orange, O2, Vodafone, T-Mobile) or an international number take longer than to a standard UK landline number. Allow an estimated 10 working days for 0800 connection to mobile / international destination numbers. Please note that T-numbers would not recommend the publishing of any numbers until they are actually live as we cannot offer a 100% guarantee on the number selected until it is actually activated due to the logistics of provisioning non geographic numbers.
0800 numbers can be even diverted to point to international landline numbers in over 180 countries. However it’s still more difficult than for 0871 and 070058 Numbers where there is no extra charge for diverting to many countries in Europe and even the United States and Canada. This makes them ideal for international organizations requiring a UK-based contact number. For 070059 numbers there is no extra charge for diverting to UK mobiles nor for diverting to up to 180 countries around the world. However, for most other types of number and other destinations, there will be an extra charge for mobile and international NGN diversions, but our rates are very reasonable, and volume discounts are available.
