A proper landline number that rings your mobile
For sole traders and small operations who want to look established without buying a phone system. A local 028 number on your van and your website, ringing the phone already in your pocket.
Why bother, when you already have a mobile?
Because a lot of customers still judge a business by its number. A landline says premises, permanence and someone who will still be trading next year. A mobile number on a quote says one person with a van, which may be exactly what you are, but it costs you work you never hear about.
This gets you the first impression without the phone system, the handsets or the office.
What is included
- A real local number in the area code you choose
- Calls diverted straight to your existing mobile
- Voicemail delivered to your email as an audio file
- No handsets, no hardware, nothing to install
- Set up the same day in most cases
Who this is right for
Trades working out of a van. Consultants and one-person practices. New businesses that want to look settled from day one. Anyone whose customers ring rather than email, and who would rather not hand out a personal mobile number.
Who it is not right for
If you have two or more people answering calls, or you need to transfer calls between colleagues, this is not enough and we will tell you so. What you want is ahosted phone system, which starts at ten pounds a phone. We would rather sell you the right thing than the cheap thing.
Common questions
Do I need any equipment?
None. No handsets, no box, nothing plugged in anywhere. You keep using the mobile you already carry.
Can I get a Bangor or Belfast number?
Yes. You choose the area code, so a business trading in Bangor gets an 028 91 number and looks local, which for a lot of trades is worth more than any amount of advertising.
Will customers know it is diverting to a mobile?
No. They ring a landline number and your mobile rings. That is the whole point of it.
What if I miss the call?
It goes to voicemail and the message arrives in your inbox as an audio file you can play. Handy when you are up a ladder and cannot write a number down.
Can I upgrade later?
Easily. Plenty of customers start here as a sole trader and move onto a full phone system when they take on staff. The number stays the same throughout.
Want a local number by tomorrow?
Ring us and tell us which area code you want. Most of these are live the same day.
