The Number People - Professor - UK local telephone numbers

Establish a local presence anywhere in the UK

Virtual geographic numbers let you connect with customers in any UK area, giving your business a trusted, local feel, no matter where you’re actually based. Perfect for building credibility and attracting more local callers.

Geographic phone numbers, also known as STD code or local landline numbers, let you establish a trusted presence in any UK town or city, no matter where you’re based. With Number People, you can choose a real local number with an area code that suits your audience, whether that’s Manchester, Bristol, Glasgow, or anywhere in between. Our geographic numbers are fully cloud-based, meaning you don’t need to install a physical line or be located in the area the number is from. Instead, calls to your local number are instantly forwarded to your mobile, landline, VoIP, or even a combination of up to 10 different destinations, so you’ll never miss a call. These numbers are perfect for small businesses and sole traders who want to build local trust, as well as individuals who need a second number for privacy, travel, or remote working. Customers are often more comfortable calling a recognisable local number than a mobile, so having a geographic number can increase enquiries and help your communications feel more professional Geographic numbers start from just £2/month and include 60 free UK call minutes (worth £2.50). You can add unlimited numbers to your account and add extra users for £2.50/month each,  with every user getting their own 60-minute bundle. If you’re expecting higher call volumes, you can also bolt on our Mega Bundle with 1,500 UK call forwarding minutes for just £10/month. You can even make outbound calls using your geographic number as your caller ID. Just add VoIP/SIP functionality and make and receive calls via the internet or a mobile app. It’s a great way to stay connected while keeping your number private. With full control through your online portal and the flexibility to route calls anywhere, our geographic phone numbers are an easy, affordable way to connect professionally, wherever you are.

Why choose a Number People Virtual Phone Number?

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.
