About Blue Penguins UK Telecom Ltd.
Blue Penguins is a VoIP Telecommunications Service Provider based in Manchester, UK. Blue Penguins Telephone support is provided by Digital Mail Ltd. Blue Penguins UK Telecoms Ltd, which was founded in 2010 by Jeffrey Welther. Offering Number Translation Service service of 0700 Personal Numbers. The 0700 Personal numbering service is based on the principle of a flexible Virtual Telephone Number. Usually these numbers are designed to divert incoming calls to other telephone destinations chosen by the consumer; either landline, mobile or VoIP. 0700 Personal telephone numbers works in the same manner as a follow me numbers with multiple destination being rang simultaneously, or one number at a time. Personal Numbers debuted first in the US in 1992, when started AT&T started EasyReach product line. Which the plan allowed customers who signed up for the Easy Reach service would have been be assigned a permanent number starting with the phone code being 700 . Unlike most telephone telephone codes in the United States, the 700 telephone number code did not identify a geographic location where the callee was located. This new 700 area phone code was to cover the United States coast to coast, very similar to the 1-800 Toll Free (freephone) numbers, Which back in 1967 1-800 numbers were designed to allow callers to reverse charges without the needs of the assistance of telephone operator. The new easy reach programme from AT&T made America the first country to offer numbers without the number to being tied to a certain geographic area. Under the easy reach plan with AT&T, all telephone numbers will remain with the subscribers as long as want or need the service. The reason for starting such telephone service was based on the fact, an average person will change will have over dozen telephone numbers from changing of residency in their a lifetime. The new telephone number range will not require a separate line or an extra phone to use the service, and can move with the individual without them having change numbers. This service was intended to help a vast majority of Americans keep a familiar telephone number in case they decide to move, or possibly away from their business and home. In 1995 the first UK telecommunications company to offer a similar service to AT&T Easy Reach was FleXtel, and soon many other UK telecom companies started to offer this service. Anyone who currently uses a 0700 personal telephone number can use their existing telephone without the need to purchase additional hardware, since a 070 personal number is a follow me number.
In 2012 Blue Penguins gradually expanded its service proposition to Non-Geographic, and Geographic as Telephone numbers. Blue Penguins was aware that fraudsters have found their ways to exploit the use of the 070 personal numbers. Along with lottery scammers and other various fraudsters. Many fraudsters have been using 070 personal numbers in a bid to either trick people into disclosing private bank details or handing over fees to secure non existent rewards. Most 070 personal numbers do not carry a monthly telephone number rental, and can be acquired at very little or no cost. Most 070 personal numbers can be activated quickly and cheaply without any expense, and many can be diverted to a landline, or a mobile in another country without call diversion charge. Internet scammers have been using this provision and scoop these free 070 personal phone numbers, redirecting them overseas and posing as legitiment British companies. 070 personal numbers have been also labelled as "throw-away" numbers as how fraudsters have been using them to con innocent victims into providing information that can used to commit identity theft. The whole purpose of scammers using a 070 telephone number is to appear more like being legitimately based the United Kingdom, when probably the call is actually being diverted somewhere outside the British Isles. Also noted that a 070 telephone number may appear to look very similar to UK mobile number. All UK Mobile telephone numbers were reorganised and classified in 2000 and mobile telephone numbers moved to the 07 number range to ease the confusion. Before 2000, Telephone numbers in the United Kingdom were not organised, and there was slight discrepancy on which telephone numbers were considered local, national, mobile, or premuim rated. Even Ofcom seven years had consideration on migrating the 070 personal telephone numbers to the 06 number range, so callers do not get personal numbers confused with mobile numbers. Even mobile phone calls to a 070 personal can be costly to a caller, some callers have paid up to two pounds sterling for a ten second call. Ofcom has made that all providers of 070 numbers must place a small recorded message before connecting the call, informing the caller's cost for dialing a 070 number at no charge. This standard warning provision was place on all 070 personal numbers, only if the call charge was more than twenty pence per minute. Blue Penguins decided in the best interests of current and future customers to drop Personal Numbers from our products and services.
Voip technology
Blue Penguins Decided to extend Voip in their telephone service packages. First in 2010 by allowing customers to divert their number to a VoIP destination. 2014 Blue Penguins extended the voip service to include making outbound calling from their telephone number. This technology has been used by Magic Jack and Vonage, for making and receiving calls over the internet for many years prior to Blue Penguins offering this service.
There are distinct ways that many consumers and businesses are using VoIP technology. The analog telephone adapter (ATA), can help a business by continuing to use their regular business phone. As long as the business uses some fast Internet connection. The ATA adaptor will convert the voice signal into a digital packet of data and send it over the Internet. For businesses with many users on traditional phones, the ATA becomes a specialised server that could allow the business to keep its telephone system intact.
