O2 mobile landline - is it good? Alternatives?

[zsoltimatrix]

Hi guys,

I am thinking about buying some business cards. I think if I state the landline number as well than the whole look will be more professional.

Of course, I can not stick around the landline so I was thinking for going with the O2 landline to mobile phone call forwarding service.

Anybody uses something like this? Or anything else which will do the job?

Thanks!

is the land line bt based
as im thinking of doing something similar myself is it easy to use and switch on and off?

you can get a land line number if you have a phone with skype enabled. anyone then on skype can call your mobile free. also you can get a area code of whichever one you want. ie i know people with smaller businesses that have bought a local one and also a london one both come straight through to the mobile with no cost to you or the person ringing.

btw i don`t work for skype just re read it and it looks like a sales pirch

I have a Virgin Media Landline and Virgin Mobile - if you have Unlimited Landline calls which is 7.95 you get free calls to virign mobile

I then took the Call Forwarding service which redirects all calls to my mobile for 2.00 and I don't pay any extra for the call - looks and sounds a lot more professional

We use bt landline with *21* call forwarding but get charged for recieving a call, always confuses the customer saying that we are such and such a place because they automatically think were at home if they dial a landline and cant get there head around it
