Can I keep my number if I move away from Read?

Will customers know the call is being forwarded to my mobile?
No. To callers in Read, it feels exactly like calling a normal business landline. They dial your Read number, hear a professional ring tone or greeting, and you answer as usual – even though you may be picking up on a mobile.
