Frequently asked questions about home phone services

Can I keep my telephone number?

Yes. In most cases we can transfer your existing landline number to your new service. This helps you keep important contact details the same for family, carers and medical services.

Do I need to contact my current provider?

No. We handle the transfer request for you. If you have broadband that is not being moved, we will advise you when to cancel it.

How long does installation or switching take?

Most services are installed within around 10 to 15 working days. We will normally confirm your expected activation date shortly after your order is accepted.

For faster setup, our Home2Phone service can often be delivered and working within 48 to 72 hours.

I need a phone line urgently. What are my options?

If you need a working phone quickly, we recommend our Home2Phone service, which can often be set up within a few days and is suitable for urgent situations, care homes and sheltered accommodation.

Can I change my call plan?

Yes. You can change your call plan during your service. Changes are normally applied from your next billing period.

Can international or premium-rate numbers be enabled?

Call barring is applied by default to help protect customers from unexpected charges. Some restrictions can be removed on request, but certain premium-rate numbers may remain blocked.

Can I add broadband later?

Yes. We offer broadband services on a flexible 30-day rolling contract, so you can add or remove broadband if your needs change.

What is happening to traditional copper landlines?

Traditional copper landlines are being phased out across the UK as networks move to newer digital systems. This change is happening gradually, with many areas transitioning over the next few years.

If your current service is affected, we can help you move to a suitable alternative such as a digital home phone line or our Home2Phone service.

Do you offer full fibre telephone lines?

Due to additional regulatory and backup power requirements, we currently do not provide telephone services over full fibre-only exchanges. In these situations, alternative options such as digital phone services or Home2Phone may be more suitable.
