Retain your home phone number
Low-cost virtual landlines for home users — keep your all-important home phone number, save on line rental, and gain some more useful features.
Our home phone line has always been the conduit that carries our internet connection, but as things get faster we're turning to fibre-optic connections to deliver more speed. BT has committed to withdraw all of its copper products from the market by the end of 2025 — so if you want to keep your home phone number, you'll need to move it to a different type of connection.
Keep your number on a virtual landline
If you've already moved to one of these new fibre connections, you may be wondering why you still need a traditional phone line on a copper cable. We've been thinking the same. We have some clever products that let you keep the all-important home phone number while saving on line rental and delivering some more useful features.
