how many numbers?

Hi
If you go on broadband can you only have one phone number? ISDN used to
offer two, wondered if the same package was available with BB.
Cheers B Bear

Only the one I'm afraid

Though they do offer a VoIP system. The down side is that you get a
totally different number, (non geographical) and the calls cost a flat
5p/min peak, free off peak. AIUI.

Incoming calls I believe are all 5p/min to the call originator.

You can't use the IP number for fax or data.

There is only one. <lightning strikes upraised sword>

You can get Broadband Voice, which you plug into your ADSL router, and
it then acts like a phone line. (with some caveats, no 999 calls for example)

7 quid a month, from BT, and the hardware is free at the moment.
The number is not a local number though.

You could in theory have many of these plugged into your ADSL line, but
only 4 or so would work for calls at any one time, due to data rates.

Just one, but if you need an number number just for incoming calls, you can
have a look at BT CallSign - that may be suitable.

Some people reported that it worked.

No, outgoing calls actually cost the same as BT Together Option 2

Only the one number?

Surely the alternative ringing option, BT Callsign is available on a BT line
with ADSL?
