Further to my last posting. An associate of mine tells me he has an 0208 divertable no which he got from callagenix.com he pays about 4p a min for each call,and  approx £12 a month line rental to divert within the UK.

No it doesn't help because with all these geographic number diversion services you have to pay extra for the forwarded leg of the call and also for the existence of the diversion service too

Whereas call diversion on 0845 or 0870 is free to the recipient with the additional diversion cost being paid by the caller.

That is why many small businesses prefer to use 0845 and 0870 numbers in a situation where they regularly need to divert calls.

The biggest scam is that if you need to divert calls on a BT line you can only use BT as the carrier and not any of the 100 or so carriers that you might use via indirect prefix code access or CPS registration on a BT line.

BexTech,

You are a man after my own heart since as one who deals with the meaning of number patterns professionally for a living I get really angry at all the unthinking idiots who talk about 0207 and 0208 numbers as though 0171 and 0181 were simply changed to these two codes rather than a more fundamental reamalgamation of inner london and outer london dialling codes having taken place.

Of course Ofcom/OFTEL have not helped at all by making that change several years ago but only now finally being about to release  London number blocks starting 020 3xxx xxxx in a few months time.  As far as I can tell those 020 3xxx xxxx numbers can be in either inner or outer London.

BT do not help with constant references to numbers in the format 0207 and 0208 in a variety of their own marketing material.  But then a high level of intelligence never was a pre-requisite for a job in the BT marketing department!
