07 · UK mobile
A real UK 07 number with no SIM card. Hand it out for work, keep your personal mobile private, and forward every call to the phone you already carry. No second handset, no dual-SIM, no contract.
// the short answer
A UK virtual mobile number is a real 07 number that isn’t tied to a SIM card. Calls to it are forwarded to whatever phone you choose, so you can hand out a mobile number for work without giving out your personal one — and without carrying a second handset or a dual-SIM phone.

Put the 07 number on the van, the website and the quote. Your personal mobile stays personal — and stays yours if you ever sell the business.
There is nothing to insert and no dual-SIM phone to buy. The number forwards to the phone already in your pocket.
For trades, delivery and field work, an 07 number reads as someone who actually answers. A landline can read as an office nobody is sitting in.
Opening-hours rules send out-of-hours callers to voicemail instead of your phone, so a work number stops following you home.
// 01
Choose one from live availability above. Nothing to install and nobody to arrange it with.
// 02
Forward to your mobile, a landline or the whole team, with ring order and opening-hours rules.
// 03
Answer on the phone you already own, with voicemail-to-email and recording built in.
// what it is, and isn’t
It dials and displays like any UK mobile, and callers pay their usual rate for a UK mobile call.
There is no data allowance and nothing goes in a phone. It forwards calls to a phone you already have.
The £4.99/mo entry plan holds the number and takes voicemail, with no included forwarding minutes. Standard UK mobile forwards are billed from your wallet; the £9.99/mo Mobile plan bundles minutes for busier lines.
Like any forwarded virtual number, treat it as a business line rather than your emergency phone. Keep a normal mobile or landline for 999.
What is a virtual mobile number?
A real UK 07 mobile number that isn’t attached to a SIM card. Calls to it are forwarded over the internet to a phone you already own, so you can publish a mobile number for your business without handing out your personal one.
Do I need a second phone or a dual-SIM handset?
No. That’s the point of a virtual mobile number — there is no SIM to insert. Calls ring the phone you already carry, and you can change where they ring at any time without swapping hardware.
Can I keep the number if I change mobile provider?
Yes. The number belongs to your LineHQ account, not to a mobile contract, so switching your own mobile provider or handset makes no difference to it.
Is it the same as a normal mobile number to the person calling?
Yes — it is a genuine UK 07 number and dials and displays exactly like any other. Callers pay their normal rate for calling a UK mobile.
Can it forward to my mobile?
Yes. Pay As You Go starts at £4.99/mo and forwards to standard UK mobiles at 7p/min, with no included forwarding minutes. Plans with bundled mobile minutes start at £9.99/mo.
How much does a virtual mobile number cost?
From £4.99/mo for the number itself with voicemail-to-email included. Pay As You Go forwarding is billed from your wallet at 5p/min to UK landlines or 7p/min to standard UK mobiles; monthly mobile-minute bundles start at £9.99/mo.
// prefer a local number instead?
A local area code says you’re established in one place; an 07 says you answer wherever you are. Plenty of businesses run both.
