I'm looking for a service which allows me to have a local London number
which is forwarded to my NYC mobile number.

I looked at Lingo.com but that requires a PC. I want people to be able
to call me even from their mobile phones in London, and it would just
be a local call for them.

Does such a service exist?

Thanks,
Stefan

Not really. You can set up your Lingo account to forward to any
number you want. You have to do the setting up from your web browser,
but once it's set up, the forward happens at Lingo's switch, and the
terminal adapter they provide doesn't need to be plugged in or turned
on. (I just unplugged mine and called myself to check.)

On the other hand, if you spend any amount of time at your office, and
you have a broadband connection there, I would suggest connecting the
Lingo adapter and plugging a phone into it, and setting it up so that
the phone and your mobile ring simultaneously. That's what I do. so
if I'm in the office I can answer the phone and not use up mobile
minutes.

If you want to call people in London back, Lingo considers that to be
a free local call from your Lingo phone, while your mobile carrier
will likely charge ripoff mobile international rates.

R's,
John

Here are just a few suggestions, the voipuser.org one will give
you flexibility of changing the routing, it's free, and actually helps
the voipuser.org community. Out of the three you may want to try that
first and if it works for you then I'd use that.

http://www.voipuser.org (completely free 0844/0845/0870/0871/07031
numbers and incoming call revenue goes to back to the voipuser.org
commnunity in the form of free outgoing call minutes)

http://www.uk2me.com (free, but static, 870 number)

http://www.yac.com (pay for service, high call cost to callers)

Yes the service exist.
How many minutes/month you may terminate ?
The rate depends up on the volume of minutes

You can get the "Unlimited in-state" plan with a NY number from
Broadvoice.com for $9.95/month and add on a UK incoming number for
$1.95/month, and then just turn on call forwarding.
