VoIP Advantage Mobile allows you to use your mobile phone as a fully integrated Hosted PBX extension, simply by adding a SIM card to your handset.
You use a land line number on your mobile phone, so you can take calls to your office phone number on your mobile handset – and it is a proper mobile phone call, no fiddly VoIP is required.
You can also send and receive SMS messages from your mobile handset, using your landline number.
With all the features of a Hosted PBX and no long-term commitment, VoIP Advantage Mobile delivers high speed, business grade telephony and mobile broadband.
VoIP Advantage Mobile provides you with one number and one phone system, whether your using a desk phone, computer softphone or a mobile device.
You get complete Hosted PBX functionality and low cost calling across your phone system. You can seamlessly mix and match hardware across your organisation, giving some mobile phones, some fixed telephones and some softphones (or perhaps a combination of all three).
Through a powerful interface on their mobile, the web, or their computer, end users will control how they want to receive their phone calls and messages.

Calls
Phone calls to and from your mobile handset and our VoIP platform cost 3 pence per minute (ppm). To make outgoing calls, you simply add the normal call charge.
Therefore, calls outbound to UK Landlines are 4.25ppm (1.25ppm landline cost, plus 3ppm mobile charge). You can call 35 international countries for just 4.5ppm, calls to other UK mobiles are 12ppm peak, 11ppm off peak and 9ppm weekends.
Calls inbound on a UK geographic or landline number are charged at 3ppm, calls received on a mobile number are free. So, if you transfer a call from your VoIP phone to a VoIP Advantage Mobile, the cost will be 3ppm.
Because VoIP Advantage Mobile is an extension on your Hosted PBX package, any normal call bundles, such as 500 UK mobile minutes, are available for use.

All VoIP Advantage Mobile services have a 3 month minimum contract period, with a one month rolling contract thereafter.
