Want a telephone answering service but don’t want to change your number?
That’s understandable!
In these circumstances we will still need to allocate a unique telephone number to you, you will then need to contact your phone service provider and request that calls to your existing number are diverted to your new number (provided by us).
We recommend contacting your phone service provider before purchasing a service with us, just to ensure that they can do this.
See here for more information on our Phone Services.
