Hi,

I assure you their are lots (and lots).

Plenty of 0870 service providers will give you this for free (together with
everything free).

You can de-register a / your SIP client when out of hours voicemail service
is required and use any of many service providers that will forward to
voicemail only when unavailable (i.e. unregistered).

All sorts. Their are many software systems (VoIP) that you can use and
configure to do whatever is to your hearts content.


Best wishes,
