Why now

By January 2027, every traditional UK phone line stops working.

If it plugs into a wall socket, it's affected — office phones, alarm panels, lift lines, EPOS and card terminals. We check what's actually wired through your line and move each piece across on your schedule, not in a last-minute scramble.

"The 01970 number we've had for twenty years moved across without a hitch. New phone system is miles ahead of the old one."

What changes

Built around the problems Welsh SMBs actually run into

Ready well before the 2027 deadline.

MISSED CALLS

Calls stop dying on the office landline

Route to mobiles, laptops, or a whole team at once — nobody's stuck by a desk to catch a sale.

MULTI-SITE

One number across every location

Farm, workshop and office on the same system — no separate lines to manage or forward between.

COST

Lower bills than a legacy line

No line rental, and 2,000 minutes included per user each month — most small teams never come close to the cap.

DEADLINE

Done well before January 2027

Migrate on your schedule, not in the queue with every other business moving at the last minute.

Number porting handled for you

Your existing number moves across as part of the migration — nothing changes for customers calling in.

Fixed, transparent pricing

The price you see is per user, per month — no line-rental surcharges or "from" pricing that changes later.

Before you enquire

The questions we get asked most

What's included in the price?

2,000 minutes included per user each month, free calling via the Linphone app on desktop & mobile, voicemail, call recording, call flows and reporting are all included as standard. Number porting is £19+VAT per number, one-off. Desk phones and SIP trunks are quoted separately based on what you need.

What happens if I go over my included minutes?

Your 2,000 minutes cover UK landline and mobile calls (mobile calls count for up to half your bundle), with a smaller allowance for 03 numbers. Most small teams don't come close to the cap — if you're a heavy caller, tell us and we'll size a bundle that fits.

Do I need to buy a desk phone?

No — most teams start on their existing computer and mobile using the free Linphone app. Cordless IP handsets are available from £99+VAT outright if you want them for reception or shared desks, with rental options available on request.

Do I keep my existing phone number?

Yes. We handle the transfer for a one-off fee of £19+VAT per number — your landline and mobile numbers carry over, nothing changes for customers calling in.

Will there be any downtime during the switch?

No. We run your new system alongside the old line during cutover and only decommission the legacy line once everything's confirmed working.

Am I locked into a long contract?

No long lock-ins. Terms are laid out plainly in your quote before you commit to anything.

Do you offer SIP trunks for an existing phone system?

Yes. If you already have a PBX on site, we can provide SIP trunks so you keep your hardware and just move the lines across — mention this when you enquire.
