How do I order a specific phone number

Hello to all,

 

Who can I contact to order a specific phone number for my new business? It'll be a local geographic landline where I live and operate, but I want to choose the number. Any direction or contact would be greatly appreciated.

 

Many thanks

 

Andy

Hi andyhilton,

 

we have a specialised sales team that deals with order specific numbers, if you send me a private message with your contact details I can get them to give you a call.

Hi I would also like a specific number for my business that I run from home. I live in Leeds West Yorks and I will still want to use the area code (01132)
I have just moved in to a new house and I have ordered bt phone and broadband and it's getting connected next Thursday 16th April. I did ask the operator at the time I ordered the phone line and broadband but they didn't know how I could ask for a specific land line number that I would like so it spells out my business name. Any help would be great.

Kind regards Neil

I am hoping to order a speific 0808 number that can be forwarded to either a landline or mobile. Please can you help?

Hello Ryan,

 

All numbers are owned by Ofcom and are released in batches to carriers (BT, TalkTalk, etc.) so it is a case of finding out if the number range you want has been released yet and to which carrier.

 

If you private message me I will check for you.

Hi, 

I need to get a specific Number that is owned by BT (so i'm told!) it's a local unsued number. 

How do I go about obtaining it?

Hi, Lyca had taken a phone number away from me as I did not use it for 90 days and I was unaware that was the time frame. I use that number for buisness and would like to know where that number has gone and if i can request that specific number?

Hey rumana97,

 

If you send me the number via private message, I can have a look to see if that's available or if it's locked and in use with a specific provider currently. 

 

Thank you, Bobby
