Not quite sure I understand that - surely forwarding a call to a geo number
is no different to placing a call to a geo number? Then again,
second-guessing the business models of telecoms companies is fraught with
danger.
Workaround of the Day: Install Asterisk. Register a free Sipgate account for
incoming calls and a voip.co.uk for outbound. Do call diverts and voicemail
on your Asterisk box. Job done!
