Hi all,

I'm moving house shortly from the 01582 to 01525 area. Needless to say, I can't keep my current 01582 phone number when I move. The problem is that I use this line for business as I work from home and it's on a lot of adverts etc.

I rang VM but they told me they can't divert the old 01582 number to the new 01525 one and can't even put a message on the line to say the number has been changed (I was under the impression this was possible).

Is there any way I can keep the 01582 number active in some shape or form and have it diverting through to the new 01525 number so I don't lose any potential business?
