Calls follow you
Calls ring on any device, mobile, desk phone, softphone or app, and your number is yours for life. Reroute instantly in an emergency, never miss a call.
No lock-in
Per-second billing itemised to 1/100th of a penny, free annual minutes spread across your bill cycle, and a 30-day rolling contract you can cancel any time.
Which prefix?
0207 vs 0208 vs 0203, how to pick
01
0207 sits across inner / central London and is the prefix consumers recognise as ‘the City’. Best for finance, professional services and central-London brands.
02
0208 covers outer London. Strong choice if your team serves the suburbs, or if you'd rather not lean too hard on a central-London image.
03
0203 was introduced when Ofcom ran low on 0207 inventory. The number pool is wider, so it's easier to find a memorable or repeating digit pattern.

London FAQs
London number FAQs
Common questions we hear from London-focused businesses. Don't see yours? Let's talk.
Do I need to live or work in London to get a London number?+
No. A virtual London number rings on any device anywhere in the UK (or globally). Customers see a London number, calls can land on a mobile in Manchester or a desk phone in Madrid.
Is 0207, 0208 or 0203 better?+
It's down to brand. 0207 reads as central / inner London, 0208 as outer London / Greater London, and 0203 is the newest pool, useful when you want a memorable or repeating-digit number.
Do calls cost more to a London 020 number?+
No. 020 numbers are geographic landline numbers, calls cost the same as any other 01 / 02 number, and they're included in most landline and mobile inclusive-minute bundles.
Can I keep my existing London number?+
Yes. We port London 0207, 0208 and 0203 numbers from most other providers. Start a port and we'll handle the paperwork with the losing provider.
How quickly can a London number go live?+
New numbers are active in hours. Ported numbers take a few working days depending on the losing provider's process, we keep you posted throughout.
