The Number People - Professor - UK local telephone numbers

Connect anywhere, anytime

Our virtual phone numbers let you establish a professional presence without being tied to a physical location. Whether you want a local, national, or international number, calls can be forwarded to any device, mobile, landline, or VoIP, so you never miss an important call. 

With Number People, you can get a Virtual Phone Number for business or personal use. Your virtual number will look and function just like a traditional landline number and will cost the same to call.

Choose from a wide range of UK local numbers, national numbers such as 03 or 0843, or even get a freephone 0800 number to provide an even better experience for your clients.

You can have as many numbers as you need; they cost just £2 per month and will include a bundle of 60 minutes for call forwarding.

Add VoIP/SIP users for £2.50 per month per user, which also includes a 60-minute free outbound bundle enabling outbound calls that display your chosen number as the caller ID. These users can receive calls for free, share inbound calls between them, and make internal calls at no cost.

Business Use
For businesses, a local presence matters. Many customers prefer to call a local or landline number rather than a mobile number. With our virtual phone numbers, your business can maintain that community feel while answering calls anywhere, even internationally. Expand into new markets by offering local numbers across the UK without needing a physical office.

Personal Use
Many customers get a UK local number and forward it to their overseas mobile or landline, so friends and family can call them at local rates. Callers will hear a normal ring tone and won’t notice the call is forwarded internationally.

Call Forwarding Options

  • Forward calls to your UK landline for just 1.5p per minute or to UK mobiles at 7p per minute.

  • Add an Unlimited Call Forwarding bundle to cover all standard UK forwarding calls.

  • Forward calls internationally—rates vary by destination and can be viewed on our call rates page.

VoIP/SIP Integration
Add VoIP/SIP users at £2.50 per month each (includes a 60-minute outbound call bundle). Users can make outbound calls showing the virtual number as the caller ID, receive inbound calls free, distribute calls between users, and make free internal calls. 

  • Establish a professional business presence with local, national, or freephone numbers

  • Answer calls anywhere by forwarding to mobiles, landlines, or VoIP apps

  • Stay flexible and accessible, whether in the office, remote, or on the move

  • Manage multiple numbers and users easily under one account

  • Use advanced call handling features like call forwarding, call groups, and voicemail

  • Provide callers with a seamless, professional experience every time

  • Expand your business reach without needing physical office locations

  • Keep control over your communications with customisable routing and settings

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.
