Think if it were for a local service, local landline number or 0800, as long as I knew the address.  Would not call 0870 or 0845. Anything or a 0845 those kind of numbers I use a site which you can search for the 01 or 02 number

you could just use it as a answer phone service if you aint keen on having to answer the phone at home when not working ...

im not bothered about anwsering the phone at home its just im looking to cover a large area and think a none local number would be better plus you can get 0800/0845 numbers diverted to you mobile for next to nothing.

The thing is you asked not what was best for you, but what number we would call, and as a residential customer it would be home number everytime,

i have an 0800 number, it came with the business, costs me pennys to have, and looks professional. i would have a mobile no as well to offer, that way they have a choice, as they get charged if they call from a mobile.

1-800 ghostbusters

In the middle of the film's initial release, to keep interest going, Ivan Reitman had a trailer run, which was basically the commercial the Ghostbusters' use in the movie, but with the 555 number replaced with a 1-800 number, allowing people to call. They got a recorded message of Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd saying something to the effect of "Hi. We're out catching ghosts right now." They got 1,000 calls per hour, 24 hours a day, for six weeks.



oh yeh I would always use a landline for a service, so if it goes wrong I can keep tabs on who I am dealing wiith

I would call a landline local number for a window cleaner, I would not call 0800 or any of the others, I think its because they sound too big and impersonal and more likely to rip you off, same goes for plumbers and sparkies etc.
