Thanks, I thought it should work, but I remember working in an office once
where a forward would only go one leg - ie. if you forwarded the desk phone
to your mobile and then didn't answer the mobile, it would not forward to
the mobile voicemail system. It would go back to the desk voicemail system.
It was probably time out related thing though that wouldn't effect this
setup. I just wanted to check with someone who knows.

Basically, I want an 0845 number that I can always be contacted on, even
when out and about. I am just looking on the web now for finding the
cheapest way of doing that. voipcheap have mobile rates around 5p / minute -
I just need to figure out how I am going to make use of that with an 0845
number .... voipcheap don't give out a dial in number by the looks of it.
