Greet every caller with a welcome message

Call Forwarding Groups

Start every call the right way

Play a short, custom message to callers before the call connects. Perfect for branded greetings, business hours, compliance notices, or quick updates. It’s an easy way to set the tone, share important info, and make your business sound more polished and prepared from the very first ring.

A personalised greeting can make a huge impact on your callers and validate your business as a professional service.  It will be unique to you, and they are most commonly used to confirm where the caller has dialled and to assure them that their call will be answered shortly.

Your greeting can be absolutely anything you want, and can either be uploaded to us, or you can create your own media file by using our quick and simple text-to-speech service.

Eg – “Welcome to Dave’s PC repairs, please hold the line whilst we pass you to the next available advisor”

You can also use these custom announcements to advertise other services that you offer, boosting your trade-up sales

E.g. “ Thank you for calling Dave’s PC Repairs, your call is in a queue and will be answered shortly.  Did you know that we have a half-price offer on our antivirus software? Just ask the advisor to tell you more. Please hold the line”

A custom call greeting is the simplest and most effective way of giving your callers confidence in your business. It leaves your customers with a fantastic first impression and can make the difference in bolstering your business.

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.
