Five Stars

Here’s what our customers think...

The Number People - Professor

Excellent all round - Highly recommended

Easy to use online portal, excellent customer service while being the cheapest provider I have found for VoIP number to use for my startup business.  I like that as my business grows the upgrade options are reasonable and remain affordable.  I would highly recommend Number People.

Really Excellent

Fast, friendly and professional. The easiest way of keeping your landline number active when switching to a wifi-only provider.  Highly recommended!

I wouldn't consider another provider

Been utilising numberpeople.co.uk reliably for about 3 years across circa 30 phone numbers.  Fees do quite add up some months but still provide value.  Their services are a utility and I wouldn't consider another provider.

First Class Service

Professional, prompt and flexible.  In a crowded market, the Number People really stood out.  Although we've only experienced set up so far, we would unhesitatingly recommend them.

Stay Connected, No Matter Where You Are Whether you’ve moved away from Edinburgh or simply want the flexibility to manage your calls more easily, our Virtual Call Forwarding Service service gives you the tools to stay connected. It’s quick to set up, easy to manage, and designed to give you peace of mind - with your 0131 number right where it belongs.
