thanks ihatejam - would be interested in finding out more about 'buying' a UK landline number - how do i go about doing this and subsequently tagging it to my Skype account?

I have just recently set up my Skype account (in advance of moving out to AD) - will i be able to use this same account from AD or do i have to set one up when i get there?

You can tell i am not very technical!! (understatement of the year!)

If you can point me at an appropriate website where i can find this information it will save me pestering you for more info!

thanks in advance...
