Local Number from VOIP SP
 

This may not be the right place for this question but I'll try
anyway....

My VOIP SP offers me a local code number for incoming calls. Will I
get a BT directory entry with that number?

TIA,

JohnK

To my knowledge the only way to get a BT entry is to be a BT customer
or maybe a Telewest customer .

Not always the case, it depends on the VoIP provider. Sipgate for one do
not list numbers in any directory, they say it is for regulatory reasons,
but not sure what they mean by that..!

I believe you can request a mobile number to be listed.

I have my mobile number listed in the directory.

I used to pay about £5 a quarter for this "special entry"

I cancelled it 10 years ago...........it's still in.

You can have any number listed in the directory, it would seem.

I have noticed mobile numbers in the telephone directory.. Seems to be
one on almost every page!

I asked about it ages ago, and was told it was not possible.

Interesting stuff :D

AFAIK if you are a UK Company issuing numbers to UK customers it is a
regulatory requirement that you must offer the facility of entry into the UK
phone directory for those that request it.
