Price quadrupled overnight
I ported my landline to Number People. Reasonable value at £1.50 per month (actually £5 a quarter to keep up with their credit robbery scheme). All of a sudden it is £6 a month. Same service. I'm deeply unhappy about their tactics and have just ported elsewhere. Beware.

Hello,
We’re sorry to hear that you felt unhappy with your experience and that you chose to move elsewhere.
We’d like to clarify that this was not a sudden increase. All customers were notified by email in June about our first price update in 9 years, with the changes taking effect from July. As part of this update, we also added inclusive call bundles at no extra charge, meaning many customers now receive more value than the monthly cost of the service.
We genuinely try to be transparent and fair with all pricing and changes, and we’re sorry that this did not meet your expectations on this occasion. We do appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback.
Kind regards,
- Number People Customer Care
Misleading pricing/availability
They have 3 tiers 'Standard' 'Top 5' and 'Memorable'
Standard has no options available so your looking at minimum £200 for a phone line (plus the rest). Numberpeople, you are the weakest link, goodbye!

Hi there,
Thanks for your message. We actually have standard £2 numbers available for most UK destinations. It’s possible that the specific area or prefix you were looking for has low or no current availability, which is why you may not have seen standard-priced options at that moment.
If you get in touch with us directly, our team can check live availability for you. We hold tens of thousands of standard-priced numbers, so we’re confident we’ll be able to find something that suits you.
Feel free to drop us a message, and we’ll be happy to help.
Kind regards

Had a problem with my VOIP box
Had a problem with my VOIP box. No idea how to sort it out. Nicola from Number People was endlessly patient, clear, courteous and helpful. After eliminating every other solution she helped me to choose and then set up a new ATA box
Five stars from me!

Bad Experience
I do not recommend using numberpeople.co.uk. They suspended my account after I submitted the verification documents. They did not reactivate my account and also refused to issue a refund.

Great Job
It’s so refreshing to deal with a company where you can actually speak to a human being. Number People took the time to listen to exactly what I needed, understood the situation straight away, and handled everything quickly and professionally. They make the whole process simple and stress-free — no endless forms or waiting on hold, just friendly, knowledgeable people who get things done. Highly recommend!

Absolutely would not recommend
Absolutely would not recommend.
I was managing accounts for a company that had a number with Numbers People, which was only used for business registrations, meaning it would only get a call maybe once every few months.
The Number People started charging top ups on the account every day until I had to freeze the account, while it had zero calls and zero activity... When we asked them to refund it, they refused.
What a sham!
Be careful and check what they charge you for. You will be charged for services you never used or calls you never received. It's clear that they scam account users. Should probably be reported to police and citizens advice.

Hello,
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear you were unhappy with your experience.
The charges on your account were perhaps for active services associated with your numbers, such as the monthly cost of the number, voicemail, call groups, or other add-ons. Even if the numbers received few or no calls, these services remain active until cancelled.
As a pre-paid, no-contract service, customers are free to cancel any services they no longer need at any time. You can also close your account entirely through our online portal.
We always encourage customers to review the services on their account and remove anything they don’t require, which prevents unwanted charges.
We appreciate you taking the time to provide your feedback and are happy to assist anyone with questions about their account or charges through our support channels.

I have been using Number People for my business for the past 5 years now. Its a no brainer and shows your business as being professional with a land line number, this in turn projects a solid business look and secures more business.
Thank you for the continued support and great services you have provided myself and the business.
Once you understand it all you will never look back .

Good value and care about GDPR to meets needs of small busineses
I've signed up to NumberPeople for a new business because I feel that a lot of people still see having a local landline number as a indicator of a business you can trust.
Their service is really good value, and they offer a Data Processing Addendum (DPA) to ensure meeting GDPR requirements.
My only issue was that I had to raise a ticket to ask about the DPA, there wasn't any info about it in the help section, and then there was about a week before I heard anything back.

I absolutely love Number People
I absolutely love Number People! This service has been a lifeline for me—it’s currently the only way I’m able to keep in touch with my husband, and I couldn’t be more grateful. It’s easy to use, reliable, and very cost-efficient for what it offers. I’ve already recommended it to several friends and contacts who need something similar. Thank you for providing such an invaluable service!
