    I dont sell products, just my services so I would guess that 1 call a Month would be realistic. This could tie me into a contract lasting from 1 Month to 12 Months. What I wanted was to give people the option to call me without having my mobile number online and without an answerphone. It...

    Price, quality & service enough?

    I have believed for a long time that then middle market is the toughest. High value and service or budget no thrills for me. It seems that most providers try the middle road and that is where the competition is the greatest. Be honest, dont over promise, be transparent. That leaves no room for...

    A question on 0700 numbers

    Hi, I just wanted to get you views on 0700 numbers. I am a Contractor and this type of number would allow me to have the call directed to my mobile at no cost to me (but a largish cost to the caller). Do these numbers work or do they put you off? Cheers.

    Morning commute to London..

    I still go into London too often (from Loughborough, Leics). Often you can't get a seat. The other day I stayed overnight in London due to a "security alert" closing the station for hours. That was OK for me as I charge back the expence but I could not do it more than 1 day a week. Long distance...
