What's
the catch?
There is no catch and no hidden
charges You simply pay the small initial setup fee and we
arrange the connection and that is it. Nothing more to pay
ever! The only requirement is that the line receive an occasional
call to ensure the computer system detects it is still in
use; two short calls a month is sufficient.
How
can UK 44 provide this service free of charge?
Because the UK phone company
receive a small percentage of the rate your caller pays to
contact you on every number in the same way as BT, Telstra
or AT&T earn money from every call you receive

someone is in the UK and calls my UK 44 Number from a mobile
phone what is the cost?

a UK 44 Number from a mobile phone varies depending on the
mobile operator and calling plan. You can check by asking
your phone company to inform you of there charges for calling
National Rate, 0871 numbers and 07** codes. On average most
mobile phone companies charge 10p per minute national rate,
as opposed to BT's 8p per minute although some charge just
5p. It all hinges on the calling plan.

How
much does it cost to call a UK 44 Number from a country other
than the UK?
The international
operator that delivers the call to the UK sets the cost of
calling a UK 44 number from abroad. Typically, each country
charges a different rate for the they offer. The costs, therefore,
vary with different operators. To determine the exact charges
the caller will need to contact the international operator
they need to use to call your number to determine the cost.
In most countries the cost is quite low, a UK national rate
number from the US costs 6c per minute and using Spantel in
Spain costs around the same.

Can
international roaming charges be avoided using UK 44 Pseudo
Mobile Number?
Yes, this is the
biggest advantage because it is possible to avoid international
roaming charges completely by using UK 44 07** Number. This
can be achieved by forwarding your calls to either a fixed
line phone in the country where you are or to your foreign
mobile.
Always remember
that roaming charges will be incurred in the normal way if
a UK 07** number is forwarded to a mobile while that mobile
is outside its own country. What this means is that if you
live for example in Switzerland and divert your UK 07** number
to your Swiss mobile it will cost you nothing to receive calls
but if you cross the border into Germany the Swiss phone is
then roaming and charges would arise. The key is to have a
mobile card for every country where you spend a lot of time
and route your UK 07** number to that; this way it is 100%
free.
