What’s Happening?

New Number

Mindful of the costs of phoning us we have now introduced an 0845 number to contact us on. Most call plans now include 0845 numbers in the inclusive monthly package so it may not cost you a single penny to call us. Where 0845 numbers aren’t included in your monthly plan, you’ll only pay 2p a minute during the day (6am to 6pm) and half a pence at all other times (if calling from a BT landline; other providers may have different charges). So the new number to contact us on is 0845 319 4887.

New Website

The New Year has brought a bright new look to Glideslope Software as we have completely re-designed our website. We’re ashamed to say that our old website had not been updated for many years! However, our new website now reflects all of the services that we provide and is well worth a look if you don’t know all about us!
