Call Forwarding In The UK

5 replies
Hi,

I run a local marketing business in the UK. I would like to have a different number for each of my clients that simply forwards to their number so that I can track which calls were generated by me.

Could someone please suggest the best service for doing this?

Thanks,
Joe

    Hi there.

    I use uk2numbers.co.uk in the UK

    You can have 0845 or 0800 numbers, I think you pay a one off cost of £10 per number, but that's it.

    The only catch is that you have to use a minimum of 3 minutes calls on each number a month, otherwise they charge you a minimum usage fee of £5 per number if you use less than this each month.

      Thanks for that. Do you ever set up call forwarding to mobile numbers? You can do it with an 08 number, but you have to pay per minute which I definitely don't want to be doing. The other option is an 07 number which is free, but the call charges are high for the person calling the number and I'm concerned that that's going to put them off.

        I do forward to my mobile, but it is pay per minute - I think it's something like 25p per min.

      Thanks, I've signed up for an 01 account with NumberGroup which is free setup and 13p per minute. It would be nice if I could find a way to get people to call the forwarding number initially and then phone the mobile direct after that. My client says he gets long calls from his existing clients sometimes just wanting to chat about what they're learning (he's a martial arts instructor).
