VoIP Home Phone in Wallsend

Why Wallsend is switching

The copper landline is being switched off

Openreach is retiring the UK's copper phone network, with the switch off due on 31 January 2027. Every landline in Wallsend will need to move to a service that works over broadband. A digital landline does that today, from £6.99 a month inc VAT.

Switching is simple: keep your number, install the app on the devices you already own, and you're live with no engineer visit and no new hardware to buy.

Local coverage

Yes. We cover Wallsend and the surrounding NE28 postcodes. The service runs over your broadband, so there is no engineer visit and you can order online. Local numbers here start with 0191.

What you get

Everything you need, nothing you don't

Keep your number

We move your existing landline number across for a one off £19.99, so nothing changes for the people who call you.

Works on any device

Answer calls on the app for iOS, Android, PC or Mac, or add a plug in handset if you would rather keep a physical phone.

Pay less each month

Plans start from £6.99 a month inc VAT, typically less than a standalone BT landline, with no line rental on top.

No engineer needed

There's no hardware to install and no wait for an engineer. Sign up online and you can be making calls the same day.

Questions

Wallsend FAQs

Do you cover Wallsend?+

Yes. We cover Wallsend and the surrounding NE28 postcodes. The service runs over your broadband, so there is no engineer visit and you can order online.

Will I keep my existing number?+

Yes. We move your current landline number across for a one off £19.99 inc VAT, usually within 5 to 10 working days, and your current line keeps working until the move completes.

Can I get a local 0191 number?+

Yes. If you are not bringing an existing number, you can choose a new 0191 number so your line still looks local to the people you call.

Do I need an engineer to visit?+

No. There is no engineer visit. You install the app on the phone, tablet, PC or Mac you already own, or plug in a handset if you prefer a traditional phone.

What happens when the copper landline switches off in 2027?+

Openreach is retiring the UK's traditional copper phone network, with the switch off due on 31 January 2027. Every landline needs to move to a service that runs over broadband. A digital landline does exactly that, so switching now means you are not rushed into it later.

Is there a contract?+

No long-term commitment. All plans are rolling monthly, so you can cancel any time, and every plan comes with a 30 day pro rata refund if you cancel in the first 30 days.
