(PRWEB) May 15, 2007 -- In December 2005 UK Technology company Liquid11 launched their revolutionary Switchboard Service: www.SwitchboardFREE.co.uk

SwitchboardFREE currently has over six thousand 0870 numbers in circulation all given freely through Liquid11's affiliate program, now the largest and fastest growing free switchboard service in the UK.

Recently 0870 numbers experienced negative media which prompted an opinion poll of switchboard users on the use of Local rate 0844 numbers. It was clear that both callers and users preferred a local rate number against a national rate number.

Users of SwitchboardFREE can now set up a 0844 number via its web page and enjoy the benefits of the advanced functions that the system offers, all in a matter of minutes. Users can configure their SwitchboardFREE number to be unique to their company through the use of recording custom introductions and out of hour messages. You can even choose the on hold music you would like your callers to listen to and stack up to 250 calls simultaneously so as to never let your customers hear an engaged tone again and of course you can direct the calls to any UK landline and re-direct them as often as you wish.

Wow !! Thanks very much, We can listen to some lovely music while being held in a queue of 250 while the clock ticks , but we don't get an engaged tone,  Marvellous!!!

When the reality is that they are moving to 0844 to avoid losing their revenue share on 0870 how can useless wasters Ofcom allow them to get away with blatant lies of this kind.
