    Landline to mobile

    Hi The key thing you need to consider is how many minutes of landline to mobile divert you expect to do per month. If it is a significant amount, the EE £10 'Pocket Landline' may in fact be your best choice. If your landline to mobile divert is not a significant amount, you may be better...

    Hi Stork Until recently I used to have a sim in my mobile phone and another sim in my GSM deskphone sharing the same number - Orange Business used to call this service 'Single Number' and only charged £3 + VAT per month for the extra sim. Sadly Orange Business have recently discontinued the...

    VoIP, mobile or landline (to UK mobiles)

    Hi Stork I am both a landline and mobile dealer. Many of my clients are paying less than 2p per minute using standard landlines - for instance, I have an Estate Agent customer with 6 offices paying just £345 + VAT for 20,000 minutes of calls to mobiles, which is equivalent to just 1.73p per...

    Business vs Personal

    Hi Danny Might be worth checking out whether Santander would work for you, as they offer free banking subject to certain criteria - previously you couldn't pay in cash in branches but now most branches have a special machine where you can. (By the way I specialise in supplying Taxi Freephones...

    Charges for Calls to Mobile Phones

    Hi I am both a landline and a mobile dealer; many of my customers are paying less than 2p per minute. The more landline to mobile minutes they require, the cheaper it gets. For example, I have an Estate Agent customer in London with 6 offices who pays just £345 + VAT for 20,000 minutes of...

    Mobile phone singnal amplifier

    Hi Mike Nextivity Celfi is a legal repeater you could use on T-Mobile - it's quite expensive though. However, if you're getting decent reception for calls, I'm not convinced that a repeater will help you at all. Best regards Simon

    Telecomms Headache.

    Hi Rob I am a mobile dealer (for EE, Orange, T-Mobile, O2 & Vodafone). Having managed to get hold of an EE 'boost box' for myself, I would recommend persevering with EE - try threatening to leave and speak to retentions perhaps? I too have decent speed broadband (with Virgin) and the EE 'boost...

    Mobile business contract or normal contract??

    Hi clickylabs You may wish to consider an alternative solution which comes with an attached landline number going straight to your mobile, as the forwarding charges from your 0800 number will therefore be much lower. On EE Business I could sort this for you from £27.50 + VAT per month. On...

    Wrapping up a business and want to keep mobile phone numbers.

    Hi Sue If all you want to do is keep the numbers, all you need to do is get a PAC code (these are always valid for 30 days) from your existing provider and transfer the number to another provider on a PAYG sim (I usually use Orange PAYG or Virgin PAYG sims). (However to get a PAC code for a...
