    As you use an Orchid, I don't know whether you might want to consider a few more routing rules (amongst other things, I've just added a bar on 1571 on mine - it's not shown in that link because some people still use it - to stop anyone just dialling it and switching it on again).

    After reading about this box here I ordered their V4 this afternoon (using the 3 discount code I read about on the MSE site).
    I got it to save me having to dial (and my daughters forgetting to) 18866 and my STD code all the time for local calls.
    Tonight I realised I never use 18866 for calls to a mobile...so does this mean using the V4 it will dial 18866 before every call now?
    I use BTs call diversion to divert my home phone no to my mobile when I'm out.

    No, YOU program it to route calls however you want.

    I'd suggest THIS though.

    Why not just use 18185 for all mobile, landline 01/02, and 0870, 0871 and 0845 numbers. 01/02 and 08 numbers cost the same as 18866, and mobiles much less at 6p per minute weekdays and 2p per minute weekends. :)

    PS. HEINZ, your routing above takes you to a Sky Digibox repair site. OOpps.

    I would if I could divert my BT Landline to my 02 mobile...but as has been pointed out you can't divert to another network using BT Call Divert.

    I wonder how I managed that?

    What I must've meant was, I'd suggest THIS though.
