You probably know that Skype have announced that they are cancelling many of their 0207 telephone numbers. This is understandably causing a great deal of concern and inconvenience to their customers.
However, the good news is that if you need to keep your 0207 number, you can transfer it to Voipfone - usually within 24 hours. (You can do this with most other Skype numbers too, not just 0207.)
As a special service for distressed Skype users who are losing their London 0207 number we will allow you to port your number to Voipfone free of charge.
Once the number is on our system we charge £1.99 per month for it (ex VAT).
All numbers come with a host of included features such as free softphone, voicemail, voicemail to email, music on hold, call divert etc etc. Full list here: http://www.voipfone.co.uk/features.php
Also, as another special offer to Skype customers, we have made all our monthly billed services free on a no commitment trial. For information see: https://www.voipfone.co.uk/skype_promo.php
