What “Business Landline UK” Really Means in 2026
Copper lines are going. Cloud business landlines are already here. For your customers nothing changes – they still dial a normal UK landline number .
From Traditional Lines to Cloud Landlines
Old business landlines ran over the PSTN. As the UK switches that off, new numbers are hosted in the cloud. Calls are delivered over the internet or forwarded to mobiles – but callers still dial 01, 02 or 03 exactly as before.
Why Small UK Businesses Still Need a Landline
Your mobile is personal. A dedicated business landline makes you look established and trustworthy – especially for higher-value jobs, regulated sectors and local services where reputation matters.
- More confidence when customers see a local or city code
- Separate work and personal numbers cleanly
- Share one office number across a small team
- Use on Google Business Profile , vans and signage
Built to Work with Your Reception Setup
Your landline is the foundation. On top of it you can plug in Virtual Receptionist UK or AI Receptionist UK so every call is answered – even when you’re on site or in a meeting.
- Simple plan: landline only – answer everything yourself
- Add AI or virtual reception later as call volume grows
- Keep the same published number as you upgrade
- One coherent phone stack for your whole business
Local, City or National – Pick the Right UK Business Landline
Choose the prefix that matches how you trade. All options can be diverted to your mobile or VoIP in a few clicks.
01 Local Geographic Numbers
Perfect for trades , clinics and local services that win work in a defined area.
02 City Codes (e.g. 020)
Ideal for consultancies, agencies and professional services that want a big‑city presence.
- 020 for London, plus other major UK city codes
- Signal scale and professionalism to national clients
- Use on your website, stationery and proposals
- No need to rent physical office space in that city
03 National Non‑Geographic Numbers
Best when you serve the whole UK and don’t want to be tied to one location.
- Neutral, nationwide appearance for online brands
- One number for multiple regions or teams
- For many callers, charged like a local call
- Future‑proof as networks move fully to IP
How Business Landline UK Works – Step by Step
No engineer, no hardware, no drama. You choose a number, tell us where it should ring, and go live.
1. Choose Your Number
Browse available local numbers like 01, 02 and 03 numbers in our portal, or tell us the area you want a presence in. Pick a memorable pattern or a local prefix your customers recognise instantly.
2. Decide Where It Rings
Point your new landline to a mobile, VoIP app, desk phone or a mix of all three. Change destinations in a few clicks without ever changing the number your customers see.
3. Add Rules & Reception (Optional)
Set opening hours, out‑of‑hours messages and basic call routing. When you’re ready, you can add Virtual Receptionist UK or AI Receptionist UK so no call is wasted.
4. Track & Optimise
Use your dashboard to see when people call, which campaigns drive calls and where you’re missing opportunities. Add extra numbers or routing logic as your business grows.
Cloud Business Landline vs Mobile‑Only
Your mobile is great for staying reachable. A business landline is what reassures new customers they’re calling a serious business.

Business Landline UK – Common Questions
Short, plain‑English answers to what UK business owners usually ask before switching.
Can I keep my existing business number?
In many cases, yes – we can port existing UK business landline numbers into our platform. If you prefer a fresh start, you can pick a new 01, 02 or 03 number and forward your old line to it during the change‑over.
Do I need special hardware or a fixed office?
No. Most customers simply divert their new landline to their personal mobile or a VoIP app. You can still add desk phones later if you want, but they’re not required to get started.
Will this work after the PSTN switch‑off?
Yes. Our numbers are already hosted in the cloud and delivered digitally, so you avoid the disruption of migrating an old copper‑based line later on.
Can I add a receptionist service later?
Absolutely. Your landline is the base layer – at any point you can add Virtual Receptionist UK or AI Receptionist UK on top, without changing the published number your customers use.
How quickly can I be live?
If you’re choosing a new number, most setups go live within minutes. Porting an existing number takes longer due to carrier processes, but we help with paperwork and temporary forwarding so you don’t lose calls.
Is there a long‑term contract?
No mandatory long contracts. Most small UK businesses start on flexible monthly plans and only upgrade when they need more numbers, more routing or reception add‑ons.
