Is there a system where you can have a dummy mobile number going to a personal phone?

Hi all,

We are looking to cancel all our work mobile phone contracts in a cost cutting exercise. Fortunately staff are really happy to use their personal phones, albeit with an incentive. That's fine.

The issue though, is for legal reasons all staff must be given a new 'work only' number. They are not allowed to give out their personal ones. Is there anything on the market where you can buy a mobile number and have it diverted to a personal one. The trick though, is that when they make a work call it has to look like it's coming from the work number.

Thanks!

Sounds like you need a hosted voip solution.
Any decent Voip provider will give you the ability of a softphone client, then you just assign DDI's to your users, they wont be mobile numbers though.

Thanks!! I was slowly coming to that conclusion myself. The current phone system is about 20 years old we have already had discussions about upgrading it.

Alcatel rainbow I think they said would be the most cost effective solution for us.
