(just checks...) over 11 years now and this has spent much time NEVER hitting wireless equipment as I route it to a landline. Indeed that was the point of this range of numbers IIRC.<br />The MD of FleXtel, Will Goodall (in human resource terms, I believe it's a pretty tiny operation) has been very active in regulatory campaigning over number use ranges in the past. 070 in particular.

I note that Gradwell (www.gradwell.net) offers a Business Mobile service. <br /><br />In the 'Why do I need it' section it states:<br />"Gradwell Mobile provides you with one number and one phone system, whether your using a desk phone, computer softphone or a mobile device."<br /><br />In the 'How much does it cost' section it states:<br />"Each SIM includes one geographic (01, 02, 03 or 0870) or mobile (07) phone number."<br /><br />So it seems like Gradwell are allowed to do this, but A&A are not; that seems even less fair!Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17601072281543536545noreply@blogger.com
