SecondRing from £2.50  |  BT around £30.50 + broadband

With a BT landline you’re typically paying around £30.50 a month and you’ll usually need an active BT broadband contract too. With SecondRing Virtual Landline, prices start from £2.50 a month and it works wherever you have mobile data (4G/5G), Wi-Fi or internet. Use the SecondRing app for clear, reliable calls, or simply forward calls to your mobile and answer as normal – no extra BT line needed.

FAQ

Everything you need to know about SecondRing.

How much is a SecondRing number?

Our prices start from £2.50 per month. Free setup and onboarding. No hidden fees, no contracts—simple, honest pricing.

Do I have to use the app?

No. You can answer calls in the Second Ring app, divert them to your mobile, or use a compatible desk handset. Many customers use a mix depending on how they work.

Can I use a desk phone or handset?

Yes. We support compatible desk handsets, so you can use Second Ring like a more traditional business phone system while still keeping the flexibility of the app.

Do you have a landline number for my area code?

Yes. We have 100% UK coverage—choose a number for any town or city. We also offer 0330 national and 0800 freephone options.

How easy is it to set up?

Super easy. Your number is provisioned instantly after you order, so you can test straight away—no engineer visit needed.

Can I get a national number instead of a local number?

Yes—pick a 0330 national number at checkout. 03 numbers are charged by callers at standard landline rates (often included in bundles).

Is it cheaper for callers to ring my SecondRing number?

Yes. Calling 01/02/03 numbers is the same as any UK landline (usually included in call bundles). 0800 freephone numbers are free for the caller.

Can I keep my existing number and move it to SecondRing?

Absolutely. We support number porting. Order a new number first, then request a port—upload proof of ownership (recent bill), address, and ID. We’ll coordinate the transfer with minimal downtime.

Can I make outbound calls showing my SecondRing number?

Yes. Use our app or a compatible SIP/WebRTC client to present your SecondRing number from mobile or desktop. Features include call recording, hold music, and attended transfers. Works wherever you have internet.

Can I offer “Press 1 for Sales, 2 for Support” options?

Yes—enable IVR / Auto Attendant. Set up to 10 options, route each to different teams or numbers, and add a whisper so you know which option the caller chose before you answer.

Can I leave and keep my SecondRing number?

Yes. You can port your Second Ring number to another provider at any time. Terms apply.
