Should I use a 020 or an 03 number?

Use 020 when a London location helps sales. Use 03 for UK-wide support: it costs callers the same as a landline call and doesn't point to one city.

Can I get a UK freephone 0800 number?

Freephone ranges are scoped on request. They route to the same trunks and Cloud PBX, but availability is confirmed before assignment.

What about UK 07 mobile numbers?

07 is a mobile range with its own rules, so it isn't the default for a VoIP DID. For inbound voice, a geographic or 03 number is the usual choice; ask at scoping if you specifically need mobile.

How long does a UK port take?

It depends on the losing provider's process. We run the new route in parallel so the number keeps working until the port date.

Does Offshorevoip ask for proof of UK address?

Offshorevoip does not require identity or address document uploads to activate your account. If a specific number type has an eligibility rule, it is raised at scoping before you commit.

Most requested UK geographic DID

UK numbering is managed by Ofcom and splits cleanly by purpose: 01 and 02 are geographic (020 London, 0121 Birmingham, 0161 Manchester), 03 is non-geographic but charged like a landline, and 0800/0808 are freephone.

For support lines serving the whole country, an 03 number is often the better pick: callers pay standard rates and bundled minutes usually cover it, without implying a single city. For sales, a 020 number still signals London presence.

Porting UK numbers runs through the losing provider's porting process; we coordinate a parallel setup so the new route is tested before the number moves.

“UK buyers often default to 020 when 03 fits better. If the line serves the whole country, a national-rate number avoids the 'why is London calling me' question.”

A 03 support number for UK customers of an EU fintech

A fintech serving UK users wants one national-rate support number that is not tied to a city. They take a 0330 number on Business, route it through a Basic IVR to two hunt groups (billing and technical), and keep a 020 number for the London sales team — both on the same account.
