Local FAQs
01 / 02 number FAQs
Common questions about geographic UK numbers. Don't see yours? Let's talk.
Do I need to live in the area to get a local number?+
No. A virtual local number rings on whatever device you set, mobile, landline, softphone or app. Customers see the local prefix; you can take calls anywhere in the world.
How is a virtual local number different from a real landline?+
A traditional landline is physically tied to an exchange. A virtual local number lives in our platform, so calls can be routed to any destination, and rerouted in seconds when things change.
Will calls cost callers more?+
No. 01 / 02 numbers are geographic landline numbers, calls cost the same as any other 01 / 02 call, and they count toward most landline and mobile inclusive-minute bundles the same way.
Can I port my existing 01 / 02 number?+
Yes, we port from most other UK providers. Start a port and we'll handle the paperwork end-to-end.
What if I want numbers from more than one town?+
Easy, many of our customers run several. The Value plan covers multiple geographic numbers under a fixed monthly fee, ideal for multi-region campaigns.
How quickly can a local number go live?+
New numbers are active in hours. Ports take a few working days depending on the losing provider, we'll keep you updated.
