A mobile landline number is simply a landline number that rings straight to your mobile. If you’re a small business, it helps to have a mobile landline number. It makes you look professional, credible, local, well established, and it reassures new customers. But, if your business or life requires you to always be on the go, a real landline number isn’t much use. You’ll miss calls, and then lose customers, who would rather ring the next company that wait around for you to get back to the office. If this is happening, you need a mobile landline.
How do landline number for mobile work?
A landline number for mobile is a virtual telephone number. This means it looks like your mobile has a landline number, but really, a cloud-based telephony service directs the customer’s call to a number of your choice. The customer has no idea that is what is happening. It will appear like any other landline.
It is the perfect solution if you don’t want your customers knowing your real phone number. Handing out your personal information this way can be dangerous, so virtual landlines give you some protection. As mentioned before, they are also more professional, with customers preferring landlines to personal phone numbers.

A virtual landline is perfect for anyone who wants their business to look established, trustworthy, and competitive. It’s particularly useful for sole traders and SMEs who would like to promote their business but still use their personal phones.
But, virtual landlines are not only for businesses. Individuals who want the use of a UK landline number for mobile, but relocate often, will also benefit from a pocket landline number.
