FAQ

Questions about UK virtual numbers

What is a UK virtual phone number?
A UK virtual phone number is an internet-hosted +44 number with call management features - no UK SIM or desk phone required.
What documents do I need?
Ofcom rules apply. Geographic numbers need a UK trading address. Freephone, non-geographic, and mobile numbers typically need company registration, director photo ID, and a VAT or tax reference. Typical clear times after docs: about 2 working days for non-geographic and about 3 for geographic.
Which UK number type should I choose?
Geographic (020 London, 0161 Manchester, and other city codes) for local presence. 0330/0333 for pan-UK without a city tie. 0800/0808 freephone for support and campaigns. 07 mobile for SMS-style or personal-feel callbacks.
Can I get a UK number from outside the UK?
Yes. Submit the Ofcom-required documents, then route UK calls to agents in India, the US, UAE, or elsewhere.
Can I keep my existing UK number?
Yes. CallHippo supports number porting so you can transfer an existing UK number.
