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.

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.

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.
Yep.
