i have 0800 because ive moved a few times and then fliers are useless

But if you are not moving local is fine

however i like 0800 as they can be permanent and redirected whenever needed

I get it free just signed up and pay 16 p  a minute i think

but i dont get calls all day and anything over than fresh inquiries i will give out my mobile/land line

On my next leaflet i have put my mobile and text "quote " to xxxxxxxxx and we will ring you , as i thought this might encourage any that were put off by having to ring???

my 0800 no is with these guys, have a look and see they are good

local ... i tried the 0800 number and never got a single call from it. People love someone local

I have an internet phone line that i can take anywhere in the world with me and people can still call me on the local number. I rent so this is perfect for me if i have to move

I have the 0800 number already, but wondered if potential customers were a bit weary of using it because it is not free to ring from a mobile, and it doesnt show you are local !

I think people like a local window cleaner. Because im not from the area i get alot of people ask where i live - i explain i moved here and live local and there happy. People like to know your local for some reason.

i have my seperate line / internet phone / work line line for a few reasons.

1) i can turn it to mute when i want
2) i can take it where ever i want and not have to worry if i move house
3) people like local
