Frequently asked questions
What does LineHQ do?
LineHQ gives UK small businesses a virtual phone number — local (020, 0161…), 07 mobile, 0800 freephone or 03/0333 national — that forwards to your landline, team or existing mobile. It adds call forwarding, recording, voicemail-to-email, a virtual receptionist, AI call transcription and summaries, a spam-call blocklist, call analytics and optional CRM Sync for HubSpot, Zoho CRM and Pipedrive, on prepaid packages from £4.99/mo with no contract.
Do I need any hardware or an app?
No app or desk phone is required for basic forwarding: LineHQ can ring your normal mobile or landline. The LineHQ Android app, SIP apps and compatible desk phones are optional when you want app ringing or outbound calling with Professional Calling. New numbers can be live in minutes.
Can I keep my existing number?
Yes. Most UK landline and non-geographic numbers can be ported to LineHQ for free, usually within a couple of weeks, so you keep the number your customers already know.
