				<p>
					<strong>1. Select the Number Range:</strong><br/>
					At the moment we offer the geographic 01 and 02 numbers in the UK as well as national 
					08 numbers and personal 07 numbers. So you'll need to select the national or personal 
					number range you require or search for 
					the local area code that you are keen on by entering the code or city name in to the 
					<a href="/" title="Find a UK area code">search box</a>. This will 
					generate a list of numbers that are available in that area code.
				</p>
				<p>
					<strong>2. Choose a Number:</strong><br />
					You can use the number selector to find a number that you like. You can search for special sequences 
					or numbers that form words on the dial pad, the more repetitious numbers cost more as they are easier 
					to remember this is called the gold value and it's a once off fee. When you have found a number that 
					you like, click on the number to add it to your order. A green tick will appear next to the number when 
					you click on it and it will be added to the trolley. You can check if you number has been added by 
					looking for the trolley at the top right of the website. You can also remove numbers by clicking on 
					the dust bin icon. To add more numbers, simply repeat the process above, you can click on as many 
					numbers as you would like to add to the order. once you have the numbers that you need, click on the 
					orange checkout button located at the top right of the website.
				</p>
				<p>
					<strong>3. Add Call Services:</strong><br />
					Note that you need to choose a number before you can add call services. The default call service is the 
					dmConnect service. This enables call forwarding to landlines and mobile phones using PSTN or VoIP trunk, 
					however you can also add a variety of other services such as dmFax the fax to email service, dmVoice the 
					voicemail and call hunting service and dmSwitchboard which is a hosted switchboard with customisable tone 
					driven menus and much more. All the services are controllable online and come with a 14 day money back 
					guarantee. Click the service you want to add it you your number.
				</p>
				<p>
					<strong>4. Edit Call Plan:</strong><br />
					If you are expecting large amounts of calls to your virtual number then you may want to pay a monthly 
					fee to reduce the call charges. You can select the call plan that suits you using the service 
					configurator the same way you change the Call services you would like to add to your number.
				</p>
				<p>
					<strong>5. Checkout and Pay:</strong><br />
					Once you are happy with the order click the orange "checkout and pay" button, follow the process until 
					you have paid, logged in and verified the number. Once this is complete you will be able to setup they 
					number according to your call services and divert needs online!
