Protect your privacy with a Ghost Phone Number

A Ghost Phone Number is a virtual number that lets you receive calls without revealing your real phone number. It’s ideal for privacy, temporary use, or separating work and personal calls. With no need for a second SIM or physical phone, you can keep your real number hidden while still being reachable. Calls can be forwarded to any UK mobile or landline, and you can even use it with VoIP for more control.

Ghost telephone numbers from Number People give you a UK phone number without being linked to a physical landline or location. These numbers work silently in the background, routing calls to your chosen destination – whether that’s a mobile, landline, or even an international number. You can choose a Ghost Number for any UK town or city, helping you maintain a local presence while staying completely flexible. Whether you’re a business based in Manchester wanting to attract clients in Leeds or London, or an individual wanting a second number to protect your privacy, a Ghost Number makes it simple. Once you’ve picked your number, you tell us where you’d like the calls to go – and we take care of the rest. You can forward your Ghost Number to up to 10 destinations at once, which is ideal if you have a team or want to make sure no call goes unanswered. Managing your number and settings is easy with our online portal. You can change your call forwarding setup or add more numbers whenever you like. Ghost Numbers start from just £2 per month and include 60 free call minutes (worth £2.50). You can add unlimited numbers to your account, and each additional user is just £2.50 a month, including their 60-minute bundle. Want to make outbound calls using your Ghost Number as your caller ID? Simply add a VoIP/SIP extension. You’ll be able to make and receive calls using your Ghost Number online or via an app, helping you stay discreet, professional, and cost-efficient by avoiding traditional call forwarding charges. A Ghost Telephone Number from Number People is the smart way to stay reachable, keep your location private, and present a professional image, whether for business or personal use.

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.
