Virtual Phone Numbers

[Blaby Loyal]

I've done a quick search on the Forum for this but it didn't come up with anything.

Can anyone recommend a virtual phone number provider at all? I've had a look at telecommsworld and ereceptionist.

Expected call volume won't be that great: I'd just prefer something other than a mobile number for website purposes.

I have a virtual fax through efax which I find very effective. I seem to recall that I had a number from telecommsworld five or six years ago but fell out with them because of the termination fee applied to my account when I wanted to end the contract.

Any pointers would be gratefully received.

CJD on here is voipfone.co.uk, I have been with them for ever (something like 18 years) and never had a problem and their prices are great.

https://www.ttnc.co.uk/ cheap, great web interface, really modern and quick, modular so only pay for the services you actually need and I've never had a problem in the 4 odd years I've used them..

We use Voipfone, which is really flexible - you can get virtual phone numbers for any location in the UK and abroad, you can setup multiple PBX with switchboards and etc as you grow. It's amazing!! And most importantly it does not cost a lot.

Looks like a referral link? Is there any financial or other benefit of you referring people to Voipfone?

Have used Dial9 for a couple of years - really good with a modern interface. I've found most other providers have aging control panels making things more difficult to manage.

I use Voipfone from @cjd and I can't recommend them highly enough.

FleXtel (flextel.com) - have been several years with them; reliable, helpful and easy to use.

Yes It is, and apparently we get 50% of the first months money after your trial... Which goes to credit on our account so we dont even get the cash... But doesnt cost you anything extra, saves you money in fact...
If you don't want the 30 day free trial then go to Google and search "voipfone" - don't know why your busting my ass over it?

Whoever you choose, make sure they are members of ITSPA. That gives you 2 important things:

Members must adhere to a code of practice in how they deal with you.
And more importantly, another member will provide you with service should your chosen provider go out of business. Thus you can always retain your number.

...and if you choose one that holds its quality mark you know that they pass a whole series of checks, standards and independent monitoring tests too.

Skype is also another option if you already use that day to day

I'd recommend Skype. I'm using it all the time to call to the US. Landlines & mobiles. Works great. Connection is insane.
