Business Phone Number: How a UK Company Gets a Separate Line
A separate business phone number keeps customer calls away from personal mobiles and stays with the company when people change roles. This guide explains the UK number types, how calls ring through to the phones your team already uses, what you need to register the number and how to choose.
Virtual Landline for Business: A UK Number Without a Physical Line
A virtual landline gives a UK business a geographic 01 or 02 number that customers call like any landline, while the calls ring through to mobiles, desk phones, a softphone or a whole team. This article explains how it works, why companies use one, how to move an existing landline number and what to look for in a provider.
Czech Phone Number for Business: A Local Presence in the Czech Republic
A local +420 number gives a UK company a credible Czech presence and stronger inbound enquiries. This article explains how Czech numbering works under the ČTÚ — a toll-free 800 number registers on a worldwide address, whilst a geographic number such as a Prague 2 line requires the end user's location in that zone — and how CallFactory, as the licensed operator, files and routes the number for you.
Polish Phone Number for Business: A Local Presence in Poland
A UK company can give Polish customers a +48 number to call instead of a +44 one. This guide explains which Polish numbers UKE allows on a UK company address, when a city code such as Warsaw 22 needs a Polish address, what the line costs in pounds and how a UK team answers Polish callers.
Irish Phone Number for Business: A Local Presence in Ireland
A local +353 number gives a UK company a credible Irish presence and stronger inbound enquiries.

Swedish Phone Number for Business: A Local Presence in Sweden
A local +46 number gives a UK company a credible Swedish presence and stronger inbound enquiries. This article explains how Swedish numbering works under PTS — a geographic number such as Stockholm 08 is associated with its area, whilst national and freephone numbers are not — and how CallFactory, as the licensed operator, assigns and routes the number for you.
