Hi

Actually what I need is more complex than normal call forwarding.

What I want to do is advertise one number (a brand new number) that
can then be forwarded to my home or mobile phone.

Can you tell me a way to do this?

One solution is to get a number from a provider of virtual numbers,
who allow you to route incoming calls to a landline or mobile - this
is arranged via an online portal. You will have to pay to receive
calls, but if you don't mind that then it's the perfect solution for
you. I currently have two numbers from Numberstore - http://www.numberstore.com/
- one of which is for faxes, which are converted to pdfs and e-mailed
to me.

Many VOIP providers offer this facility.

As an example Sipgate. You have to pay the forwarding call charges.

Or maybe not...

If you do the following:

Get a number on a plan which has inclusive mins of outbound UK
01,02,03 (eg Gradwell £8.50 includes 3000mins).

You could therefore forward this to your home landline number free of
charge.

Into your landline you plug a Burnside T910 Call Forwarding Fixed
Cellular Terminal (I sell these for £399 including delivery & vat, but
can reduce this price if I supply the sims).

Into the Burnside you put a sim which gives free calls betwen the
Burnside and your mobile (eg business sharer sim). A sharer sim
usually costs a maximum of £15 per month, but can potentially save you
hundreds of pounds.

With the above scenario, calls can ring your landline and mobile
simultaneously should you wish, but *without* the normal expense of
the forwarded landline to mobile calls.

Should you wish to discuss further, my email is my full name with no
dot at my business name dot com.

If you make your advertised number a voip one (you can easily get a
geo. voip number) you could easily forward another voip number for
free or a standard landline for next to nothing (dependent on your
choice of provider.) 
Alternatively, it used to be possible to get a free 0845 number and
forward to any standard geo number for free - again depends on the
provider.
I think Joe Public prefer a geo number though nowadays. Being a voip
fan boy I'd go for the voip solution becasue it is flexible and cheap.
