I signed up for a number but am so far unable to get it to work. During testing I also got a Glascow number; well, I mean, “why not?”.

I enabled my Packet-8 telephone service to allow me to call internationally but so far, either I am dialing the wrong number or it is not forwarding alls.

I may have to ask for help, and it may be something stupid on my part.

So what will I use the numbers for? I don’t know. Perhaps I will find out just what kind of telemarketers they have over there.

“Hello”. “Hello sir, have you considered changing your long distance telephone service to British Tel?”

** UPDATE **

After much fooling around, it appears my outbound test calls from Packet-8 were not getting to London and thus, no calls came back to me. I switched to my other outbound provider, ponied up 4 cents and tried again and the call came though. I spent lots of time testing, but at least I know that things are working.

I have a London number and an Edinburgh number and have no reason for them. Unless I can find cheap shipping for my coffee to there and perhaps offer a Prince William marriage special. Hoever, I seem to remember that they are tea drinkers over there. The heathens
