Business phone systems in Newtownards
Ards is fifteen minutes from us, and a good chunk of what we do there is trade and light industrial. Firms with a yard, a workshop and an office, where the person who answers the phone is not always sat beside it.
Time left until you lose your landline
5
months until the old phone network switches off on 31 January 2027.
Every business still on a traditional landline or an on-site phone system has to move before then. Doing it now is cheaper and calmer than doing it in a rush.
What we see in Newtownards
That is exactly the situation cordless handsets and the mobile app were built for. Your number rings wherever you are on site, and you can still transfer a call to the office without walking back to it.
The businesses around the Portaferry Road and Jubilee Road estates tend to have decent broadband already, which means the phones can go in without touching anything else.
What you get
A full phone system run from our servers rather than a box in your building. Extensions that work at home and on mobiles, calls that route themselves by time of day, voicemail arriving as email, and every feature switched on from day one.
More usefully for a business in Newtownards: when you want something changed, you ring a number, a person picks up, and it is changed that day at no cost. No ticket, no call-out charge, no waiting for an engineer to be routed over from somewhere else.

Questions from Newtownards businesses
Do you actually come out to Newtownards?
Yes. Newtownards is inside the area we cover with our own engineers, so when something needs a person rather than a phone call, a person comes. We are not a national provider posting you a box and a support email address.
How much is a phone system for a small business in Newtownards?
Ten pounds per phone per month, or fifteen with unlimited UK landline and mobile calls. Every feature is included at both prices. Handsets are bought once and start at thirty pounds, or free if you take five or more. That is the whole cost.
Can I keep my 028 number?
Yes. Your existing numbers move across and carry on working exactly as they do now. Nothing on your signage, your van or your Google listing needs changing.
What happens to my current line after 31 January 2027?
Traditional landlines and ISDN circuits stop working on that date across the whole UK. If you are on one, you need to move before then. Here is the full explanation, or use the switch-off checker to see where you stand.
How quickly can it be installed?
The install itself is usually an afternoon. The part with a lead time is transferring your numbers from your current provider, which typically takes a few weeks. Start early and the whole thing is calm.
