Title: Call divert problem
Post by: benny d on November 29, 2006, 08:58:27 pm
Hi all,
Anyone got any help for me with this problem please?
I informed BT that I want to divert my calls from home to be diverted to my mobile, which they have sorted out.

But when I tap into the phone the code to divert it doesnt work  :(
This is what I tap into my home phone keypad: Is this correct?
*21* then my mobile number, then #

This does not work for me. Is this the wrong code, or do you know the proper code at all?
Thanks in advance
Ben

Hello there, we had a similar problem, it turned out that BT need to active this facility and it isnt on there by default.  We had a package called , Business Line Divert, but they still didnt feel the need to activate the line divert facility untill asked.  So first thing id do is call them and check its activate, i think you then have to wait 24 hour or something.

See this link for details on how to use the facility when its set up.

Hope this helps.

If you`re on 3 network it won`t work most of the time. Buy an 02 pay as u go and divert to that. I had same prob over a year ago took ages and plenty of lost business to work out the problem

It doesnt matter what network your on, it should divert to ANY no inc other landlines.
You are correct that *21*  tel no hash is the divert code and hash 21 hash is undivert.

I've been using this method for about 14 years never had a problem.

Although I do believe that some calls don't get through!!

Been using since 1996, no probs even with different mob service providers. Problem is with BT.

Change service provider from BT and it may ger dodgy!

 Never had a problem whatsoever. For years. Bt and 02 work perfectly together and yes some would say they are both more expensive, however one lost/missed call for say a lounge diner etc pays for the cost for a couple of months! ;D 8)

Too true Damian!   ;)

Look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves.

Hows our Ninja mate?

I'm only going on calls in, I recently had a day off (yes you read it correctly) and the amount of calls I got was astonishing, not the same amount with the mobile (BT & o2).

John Briggs is like Howard Hughes! he won't leave the house sometimes as he thinks he's missing calls!!

Good to hear from you John-hope your well? Cant break the ninja mate! I'm trying goddamit but its bearing up very well! Put a new pump on last month and it will be serviced as and when i slow down? ::) The prochem is a different game tho-down again this week so im at full stretch and laddo isnt happy with the hours! I am hoping to put ninja in a trailer after christmas with a new speedster and truckmount em both (have bought the generators already) However i am purchasing a carpet shop too so i seem to be split in two every day! I do love waking up breathing tho' ;D

Glad to hear all is well Damian and hope your new shop goes well. Just don't tell the women how well your doin  ;D

My new Ninja won't break either, but sods law says I should get it serviced in Jan as done lots of hours.

Sounds like your serious about this truck mount set up, let me know how you get on.

John

Thankyou and yes I will let you know John for sure(truckmount) I wanted to get the new ninja like yours but hey you know what county i'm from-tight bugger, me! Is it performing upto your standards? Was it worth the cost etc? I know you have the work and custy base to substantiate shelling out a few coppers ;D Hope its spinning its vac motors constantly for you John. Did you get the auto-dump/fill version? I may catch up with you on some training course at some point?

hi damian, out intrest are  u saying u hav brought a geny to run your ninja and speedster?  cause when i looked into this i found i needed anthoer van just for the jeny as it had to be that big and powerfull , a top range ninja needs 6000watts power and will also hav huge power surge when u first start the motors up prob up to about 8000 watts so what type jeny u useing ?

If you use a free phone number as well,there can be a long silent pause for the dialer whilst they wait for it to first connect to your land line and then divert to your mobile,i must be losing calls through this >:(

Gary 8000 watts would equate to 33 amps and no ring main would support this!

Post by: cleaning co on November 30, 2006, 06:30:33 pm
we talking about two plugs  ,   cont draw max is about 3000 watts,but u get a power surge of things like electric motors ,pumps etc   when u first start them up prob for couple seconds
