[asterisk-users] 0800 UK number

[Julian Lyndon-Smith]

The number will also be used as a "information line" where a more 
detailed message can be played.

The scenario is:

1) School is closed because the boiler has broken down.
2) The Head (or any authorised person) calls the service and leaves a 
detailed message of the reason for closure
3) The system sends the text message* to all subscribers saying "School 
is closed today, please call foo for more details"
4) If anyone wants more details, then they call in.

* this message can be changed at any time by the Head texting it to the 
service.
