You choose a number and it is held in our network. We then send all calls to that number to the number you have supplied – usually your mobile or landline. There is no delay; your caller doesn’t know that your call is being diverted.

You can change the divert number anytime and as often as you like without cost. If you turn the divert off, your calls will go to Voicemail. Your voicemail is converted to a sound file and sent to your email or you can listen to it online (all free).

This is what you do

It’s all online, there’s no contract, and your number starts working instantly

1. Sign up for an account (it’s free)

2. Choose your number (here: http://www.voipfone.co.uk/builder.php#uk_incoming )

3. Put some money on your account – it’s a pay-go, no contract service

4. Set the number you wish to divert to. You can divert to any number, anywhere.

5. Try ringing the new number – not from the phone you have set the divert to go to!

That’s it, now anybody calling your new number will now ring your mobile (or whatever number you set).

 

To Use Line and Number Presentation

 

This is a feature of our virtual PBX, which allows you to display the called number instead of the calling number on you phone. This is useful if you have several companies - you can have a different number for each but still know how to answer your single phone – or just if you use the phone that your calls are being diverted to for social reasons as well as for business

.

To set this up

 

1. Go to the Package Builder and buy an extension for each of your new Voipfone numbers that you wish to display on your phone. They cost £1 per month each and you can buy them here: https://www.voipfone.co.uk/builder.php#pbx

 

2. Now go to the PBX page in your account here: https://www.voipfone.co.uk/extensions.php

 

Go to the section called Inbound Number Setup and tick the boxes under the Line Presentation heading for the numbers you wish to see called.

Save the changes.

 

3. If you also put the name of the company into your mobile along with your new number, your phone will display it when called so you can answer ‘good morning, xyz company’.
