I am new to this forum and have found it very useful.
I wondered if anyone could suggest a cheap or free way of diverting calls from one office to another as one office closes at certain times of the day. We are planning on installing Mercury Excel or Cordic (probably Cordic) so we will be using broadband and computerised dispatch.
I would also be grateful if someone could also suggest a phone system that would enable easy divert and is compatible with Cordic.
Hope I am not asking too much on my first posting.

Thanks All

Welcome to the Forum.

As a Cordic fan I am very biased. But don't put any money into Mercury.

As for your questions, why not ask Cordic?

They will know the answers better than us.

Hi Tom

Thanks for the reply. We are talking to Cordic but thought that someone might give me the benefit of their practical experience with different phone systems.

Thanks

Hi Scott

From what I can see the Cordic/Mercury etc debate has been covered elsewhere on the forum. I was more interested in a finding a phone system that allows free call divert to another location at certain times.

Mercury?

Go and see a Mercury user and ask yourself 'do I aspire to run a company like this'?

A friend signed up for the 'pay nothing now' deal. Found the system crashing more times than a Banger racer. When he tried to dump it found himself caught up in a very expensive airtime deal for longer than he thought.

Don't believe the show biz presentation, go and see it working.

Hi Skippy
I enquired with BT and we would have to pay for the diverted part of the call. Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

Timbolla, When I asked bt for call diversion, they told me that only calls between land lines where free, and that I would have to pay for the diverted part if it was to my Mobil it only costs about 5p per call but I have my Mobil as my best friend number so get a discount
