What are ghost telephone numbers?

Often called virtual local numbers, STD area codes or geographic numbers, Number People supply ghost phone numbers for any UK town or city. Our local phone numbers are not attached to a physical telephone line and are virtual cloud based numbers, meaning you don’t have to be physically located in a particular area to benefit from having that areas’ area code.

Your business may be based in Birmingham, but if you want to offer the same services to people based in Wolverhampton, Telford or even London – then it’s as simple as ordering a new ghost telephone number for that area!
