Yeah John I should have spelled it out i meant cost of diverted calls not the monthly fee ???
-
I'm one BT one plan you have to have an 02 mobile from them but you get free diverts.
Shaun

yes you have the answer shaun is spot on thats what i have business package with bt .
-
Really? so you dont pay for the calls that are diverted?? How much monthly with this package with BT? Anyone got a link?
My mobile is contracted with BT.
I pay between £80 - £100 a month just on the diverts! >:(

Hi Guys
When I moved I found I couldn't take my business line with me, same area, different exchange, so I parked it at my daughters business on permanent divert.
At the same time BT offered me a blackberry with free diverts.
It has saved me a lot of money, now £30 per month for all my diverted calls.
I was a bit reluctant as it meant I have two mobiles but it has worked out really well because I leave the business one at home when I go out in the evening and it's much more peaceful!
Cheers

If you can get virgin call divert is £2 per month and calls to a virgin mobile are free
-
Doug, Shaun do you have a link to that package just Googled and as usual am confused. :)
-
BT websites are full of too much info and you can't find anything I would call them or go on the BT forum it's far easier and you can get them to call you.

I have a burnside gsm gateway with a sim card that automatically diverts landline calls to the mobile it cost £15 per month for the sim rental and calls to the same net work are free. The unit has a lot of features and is a very clever piece of kit. I got the unit f.o.c. instead of a handset. I also have a mobile with 2 sim cards that saves me carrying 2 phones around. The sim also qualifies you for a periodic upgrade of a phone that you can sell to offset the cost of the line rental (sim). http://www.burnsidetelecom.com/burnside_products/prod_2_fixed_cellular_terminals.aspx (http://www.burnsidetelecom.com/burnside_products/prod_2_fixed_cellular_terminals.aspx) Simon from business telecom is the guy to speak to he is pretty well educated and offers free advice and has been a usefull guy to know. He also supplied the dual sim phone. Tel 07973386773

Steve Gunn told me about these and they also have a video on it they sound really good, do you have a 12 month contract to get the unit for free and have to pay for the phone? which model phone takes 2 sim cards? why 2 sims?
Shaun
-
they are very usefull things you do have to take out a contract to get the unit and you will not get them from the network companies.
You can send a text to the unit from your mobile to a text back of numbers that have called the landline you can dail lanlines from your mobile through the burnsiode so you only pay landline rates you can plug the unit into any landline socket to gety those call diverted. Ie you can set up landline to landline diversion then get that call forwarded to you mobile.
As for the two mobile numbers there are many reasons for that.

Try O2 ..they have been advertusing on radio about cheap multiple local numbers diverting to your regular number..divert is costing me a fortune..
-
Depending on your contract I got my burnside for free instead of a handset wich didn't bother me as I had blackberry which I loved.The thing about it is I pay my line rental to Virgin £11 and my mobile bill £30 then that's it no call charges as orange to orange calls are free.Looking at changing networks as orange is poor in certain areas up here
-
Am with bt and get my phone diverted.
Its not really a lot i pay as i recoup my spending with bt with the jobs i gain from it.
-
Yes but if £100p/m can be avoided it makes sense to change.

I pay 6 pound a month for thousand diverted min with talk talk. My monthly bill is about 40 quid includes phone a broad band
-
Thanks Richard ;)
Talk Talk seems the way to go .
Line rental, free weekend and evening calls + call divert £18.76.
Then you can buy a 200min bundle of landline to mobile mins £5. Once your connected can change this to 500 mins approx £10.
So in theory under £30 p/m :)

no worries mark . just had look through mine a thats what i pay . been with them for 2 years now no probs bt are just too expensive
-
£100 in diverted calls!!!!!!!!!!
Soon as I receive one I say " I've just
popped into the supermarket or I'm just
coming off the motorway can I ring you
back in 5 minutes"
Then ring back using mobile free minutes.
Simples.

Same as jands
Paul

Seems a lot to pay 100 pound s and the above is right i would be using my free mins if i had to..
-
If you can get virgin call divert is £2 per month and calls to a virgin mobile are free
ive just been told by virgin that calls diverted from virgin landline to virgin mobile have an 11p connection charge per call
-
Yip £100 a month. Guess I'm just popular :D
-
Same as John. Get their number, make up some excuse why you can't talk and then call them back.
Most mobiles now have free calls to landlines so make use of it.
-
No offence Neil, Paul and John but that sounds like a pain in the arse. Plus your still answering so its automaticly clicks to the first minute.
Free minute bundles with talktalk seems to be the best idea, plus i am with talktalk anyways.
I wish the buggers at talktalk told me about this offer sooner!! I've been spending anywhere from £50 - £100 a month on bloomin calls!

Each to their own mate. Afterall even if you have the package where your happy to chat they nearly always call when you're just arriving at a job or chatting to a customer at the end of the job, which I guess you'd tell them anyway that you'll call them back shortly.
-
Found a bit of info about the business One Plan Plus with BT. Apparently yes call diverts to O2 mobile are free.................but..............25% of the calls must go to numbers not part of your business. So that counts me out.

It's a £50 - £100 per month saving pain in the arse ;D
John

If you call them back you still have to pay for the first minute anyway. By that time you know if it's a price shopper or not. If you cnvert the call into a job then that more than covers the call.
-
I get 5000 free mins on my plan. so the call back costs nothing.
Paul
-
Everyone's a price shopper, at some stage
in the proceedings your going to be asked
"how much then"
Even those that don't really want you can be
on for ages, far better to ring back.
If possible I'll ring when I get home and that's
free.
John
