Which service do I need?

Two different services to meet your different needs: A FleXtel Personal Number lets you receive calls on your mobile phone at no cost to you, because your callers are charged by their service providers at about mobile rate. It is ideal for people on the road or for taking out-of-hours calls, where contacting you on a mobile is vital. To compare the actual costs of FleXtel numbers, please visit our tariff page. A FleXtel Business Number lets you receive calls on your landline at no cost to you and your caller pays a lower rate that for Personal numbers. These numbers are usually used as the main contact number for business, administration centres and any application where there is a need for a permanent number without a requirement to extend calls to a mobile. To compare the actual costs of FleXtel numbers, please visit our tariff page.

See the table below for specific routing services as part of our wide range of FleXtel numbers.

* You should be able to receive international inbound calls to your 0701 number, but this depends on which network your callers use. If they use some of the low cost foreign telephone companies, then these companies may not be able to afford to connect more expensive codes such as 070 Personal or 079 mobile numbers. Please ask your foreign telco for details. However, most foreign telephone companies have the 0870 codes open from abroad and this is the best choice for foreign advertising.
