Re: Transfer tel 01708 to 0208

You can do this with BT - they can even provide you with a working line with a number from another region. It's called an out of area number.

BT also provide a service called SmartNumbers which is effectively 'in the network' smart diversion - smart as in it can vary by time of day

Thirdly BT can provide a simple call forwarding service.

So it's not true to say BT have restrictions in this - they can offer the same servcies all of these VoIP telcos claim can only be done via IP. In fact to divert a number like this IP isn't required at all, as these services have been available for years well before VoIP was in use.

I am not sure what Virgin will do in this respect, but I woudl be very surprised if they didn't have a network based diversion option.

Certainly their exchanges are capable of it it's whether they offer it as a service.
