My provider lets me divert to any number - so I would get them to divert to +44 ******* (whatever my number was in the UK). > The fact is if you just used your normal phone on roaming the charges > wouldn't be that expensive, especially if you were to make sure that your > phone was on the chepest network as if you have a dual band phone I'm sure > you can use all of the Uk networks.

Someone in Australia ringing my Australian mobile number would cost me a call from Australia to the UK - I would pay identical amounts if my phone was diverted to a UK mobile number. BUT, people in the UK ringing me would only pay normal rates to a UK mobile, rather than having to ring my Australian mobile number (+61 403 *******) - this would save them money (as well as me for the Australia - UK leg of the call). Cheers, Dave
