The post about Call Whisper for 0800 numbers on 3rd September created some useful feedback.
The short pre-recorded message is only heard by the person that answers the 0800 number call.
The caller doesn't hear the pre-recorded message.
While the message is being played the 0800 number caller hears the normal ringing tone.

0800 Number Display
Question:
If I purchase an 0800 number and point it to my mobile phone will the 0800 number show on my screen when someone uses my 0800 number to call me?
Answer
In a word, No.
The actual landline number or mobile number of the person that rang your 0800 number will display on your mobile phone.
This is better for you really as if you can't take the call you will be able to ring it back. If you just saw your 0800 number displayed it wouldn't be as helpful.
What might prove useful is a service like DBS's call whisper which gives you a short pre-recorded message when your 0800 number is being used. Click here for more information on the call whisper service for 0800 numbers.
