I wondered if this is possible on a home telephone?

I have started a new home based job and they want me to get a new phone line, line rental and broadband.

Already paying me £100 so I was wondering if I could possibly have another phone number of the line rental etc I already have with Sky broadband?!

Any help would be sound

Must be possible as that is what we have with our work lines.

Vonage or Skype would do what you need:

They'll probably be able to do it on a business line but you'd obviously need to stump up for it.
Otherwise VOIP is about your only other option - if you just need an inward-bound line then Sipgate offers free UK numbers (outward pricing isn't too bad otherwise).

VOIP is your only option tbh, could use SIPgate or 3C for a free incoming line then use your mobile for it?

We have VOIP in the office, it is fucking horrendous.

Might not be as complicated/shit for your application though.

Clearly someone fucked up with the install/spec Should be fine if there's adequate bandwidth and traffic control.


Munchie - BT 'Call Sign' was the service; two numbers, different ringtones, on a single line.
Obviously the advantage of going VOIP is that you can use it where ever, VOIP app on mobile etc, as long as you have a decent internet connection (it IS flaky if you don't have sufficient bandwidth however, so keep that in mind).

Can always tell when you are speaking to someone on a VOIP line btw, no matter how well it's set up. ISDN is still better.

Sounds like a DACS service which means no broadband

Yip, broadband is nowhere near sufficient to cope with the level of traffic and no one checked/asked that prior to install.

The system we have is supposedly high end Panasonic, in practice it is not fit for purpose and should never have been installed in the first place.

The old school phone people I deal with don't normally have a clue about VOIP at all. They can maybe add the trunk to their 1998 Panasonic but that's about it. Normally not willing to learn anything about it either, completely happy in their ignorance.

They've had PSTN calling for a while, just that it tends to be expensive compared to VOIP providers although the flip-side is Skype being a piece of piss to install/setup.

Only some bits, mostly the more deprived areas. Coming to city centre exchanges at some point.
