Why a landline number

Why sole traders put a landline number on their mobile

Would you ring a mobile for a £3,000 job?

First-time customers trust a local landline number more than an 07, especially for bigger jobs. A landline number makes a one-person business look established.

Look local where you work

A Manchester customer rings the 0161 number before the unfamiliar mobile. Choose the area code where your customers are.

Keep your personal number personal

Give out the landline number on your van, website and Google listing. Your own mobile number stays private, and with the Calling app, work calls stay separate from family ones.
