Thanks for your answers, however the majority of the links you
provided are for people who want to telework. As I understand it,
teleworking is like any other job, except you work from home, using
your pc, internet and phone to get the work done.
However, I am looking for work that is purely based on using the phone
and maybe the internet, so its primarily chatlines, customer services,
phone voice-talent jobs etc, that I'm looking for. If you are able
to narrow down the results with that in mind, that would be helpful.
I should have specified NOT telesales. My fault. But I want to be
receiving the calls, not making them :)

Hi Craniumoxide,
On the website of the "Alliance of UK Virtual Assistants", I found a
list of Virtual Assistants (VA) who offer remote support for companies
including telephone answering services. I would suggest you contact
one of these companies to see if they can help you get into this line
of work.
