VoIP/SIP & Outbound calling

Making outbound calls using your Number People virtual phone number is simple.

You can make outbound calls (which display your virtual number as your outbound Caller ID/CLI) using our VoIP/SIP service. This turns your number into a virtual phone line, allowing you to make and receive calls on the same number.

👉 Please note: During the free trial, accounts are inbound-only. Outbound calling is only enabled once you fully activate your account with a top-up.


VoIP/SIP Setup
Once your account is activated, you’ll automatically get one VoIP/SIP user included free for the first month. After that, each user costs just £2.50 per month and comes with a 60-minute outbound call bundle.

  • Use our recommended mobile app (Cloud Softphone) for easy setup – just scan the QR code in your customer portal.

  • Or configure your VoIP details on any compatible device (setup guides are always available in your portal).


Outbound Call Costs & Bundles
When enabled, outbound calls are charged at our great flat-rate call rates:

  • 1.5p per minute to UK landlines

  • 7p per minute to UK mobiles

  • International rates available on our pricing page

You can also add outbound call bundles – simply check our pricing page and raise a SUPPORT TICKET to request one.


Scalability

  • Add as many VoIP users (extensions) as you need. Each extension has its own number and can call other extensions for free.

  • Distribute incoming calls across multiple users, or blend VoIP with mobiles/landlines for flexible call handling.
