I apologise if the answer to my question is the general knowledge.
Call diversion on the normal PSTN is done by the Telco (NTL in my case) and
so I cannot save on the second leg of the call because I cannot route it
over the alternative telecomm service providers ( Call 1899, Telediscount
etc).  How does this work with VoIP? Would I make a saving  if I could and
did divert calls  to a foreign country landline or mobile number, in
particular Czech republic?
Thanks

Depends how much traffic you are expecting.. voipfone.co.uk charge  2.3p
a min to Czech Republic...or you can buy minutes and its 1p per min.

You can then divert landline to the 056 number they provide... Or get
people to call the 056 number

Interestingly, I was hoping to add a South African tel number to my
"simultaneous ring" list of numbers on vonage. The call via Vonage to SA
would be cheaper than picking up calls on my UK mobile whilst there.

Unfortunately, Vonage don't let you add non-UK numbers to the "simultaneous
ring" list.

I am sure there are others who will tell you their favoured voip provider
does do this ... and so begins another playground argument <g>

What I need is an option to divert calls made to my UK number (possibly new
VoIP number) to my standard Czech Telecom landline number while I am there.
I do not have broadband in Czech republic.

Yes, i understand this.

I am saying if you topup with voipfone.co.uk, put £10 on.......You will
be issued a 05600 number, divert your landline calls to this...Costing
same as standard call on landline (i think) 5.5p for a hour in the
evening / weekend.

Then Divert your 056 number to your number in Czech Republic... voipfone
will charge 2.3p a min.

I'm not sure how much BT charge for a straight divert to Czech Rep...
But this is probably checper

I am on NTL and they charge 20p/min at any time for calls to Czech landline
(40p/min mobile) and so that would be cost to me for the direct divert plus
£1.75/month for the divert facility. On my basic tariff NTL  charges to me
for UK calls 3/2/1 p/min so adding 2.3p/min. would make it cheaper than
diverting direct.

Also, you can buy minutes £4.99 for 500, £9.99 for 1000..etc... So it's
only 1p per min.

Make sure you can dial the 056 numbers from NTL... Email me if you wish
to try my number. (remove NOSPAM)
