    Does anyone know of the cheapest option available to have a landline number that I can divert to my mobile?

    That would hardly cover the costs of the diverted calls ?

    Its purely for the number, diverted calls get charged per call forwarded.

    'We charge you for each call forwarded at the current tariff rate for that destination'

    You get what you pay for. My experience quality of VOIP is normally so bad that it is virtually impossible to have a real conversation - they are what you say cheap. Get a Virtual Number which is ISDN and don't look cheap.

    Strange, I've had no problems at all with VOIP numbers. I've got an Irish number and a UK number ringing on the same phone, and the quality is indistinguishable from a landline. Of course, you need a decent broadband connection, otherwise you're at nothing - but that's completely separate to the phone number provider.

    I use Blueface. Find them excellent. They even have a rep that posts here on boards. Excellent customer service, very good quality sound. You just need reliable broadband.

    Used to use Blueface for all VOIP calls and found their service poor. Still use them for another project though and they seem to have improved a bit in fairness.

    I use skype for this, 50 quid a year.
    The call quality if forwarded is perfect in my experience, presumably because it's all within their network under their control. If you're signed into skype your computer will ring and then call quality will be whatever your normal skype quality is - i.e. dependent on network connection, headset used etc.
