Very poor experience with Digital Five. Emails go unanswered for days or even over a week. Agreed services were not delivered properly, which caused us to lose hundreds of pounds due to delays. Extrem... See more

Surprised by the positive reviews

Nobody returns calls, you can never speak to anyone when you call and they don’t respond to emails.

From the beginning...

Smart Numbers has been with me since day one of starting my business, and I couldn’t be happier with their service! They’re always polite, attentive to my needs, and have adapted seamlessly as my business has grown. Their phenomenal customer service sets them apart, and Kate, in particular, is an absolute pleasure to deal with. Highly recommend!

Every issue can be resolved

Since my recent review. I have been contacted by senior management. And as it turns out my issues were resolved with one phone call. There was an issue with the automated invoice system.
Looking forward to working with this company moving forward

Dreadful experience

Dreadful experience. 0n 30 Aug 2024 I Chose a geographical number from their website - which implies that you get to choose the rest of the sequence later in the process - I didn't. Instead I was told I'd get a letter ... yes a letter in this day and age! It still hasn't arrived.

I got a phone call today then an email with a choice of numbers. Also got amplification of their terms and conditions. I found their porting out fees to be exorbitant. Sent cancellation email. Now no responses.

Update: 10 minutes after leaving this review, responses resumed. Post Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc? Can't be, surely?

Thank you for your feedback on the service received. Firstly please accept our apologies in the big delay in processing your order, this was absolutely our fault as we were updating our CRM and processes in August. Unfortunately your purchase of the BT Local Exchange Number dropped through a hole. Sincerely we’re sorry that happened and have been working on identifying and fixing this for further Local BT number orders.

Of course, at the time we were not aware of your intension to “buy the number” and port it away, which is a shame in that we could easily have fulfilled your booking and had the number working. Whilst buying numbers is a service we offer, 10000’s of our customers simply choose Smart Numbers and retain virtual number to divert to a destination (mobile & Apps) or install our VoIP phone systems to carry the local landline number on. We are only one of very few telecoms providers that do offer a “buy a BT landline number” and that service does come with costs attributed from the network to secure and administer the porting process.

Once again, please accept our apologies and should you require further assistance with

• Virtual Landline Numbers,
• Numbers for VoIP
• Landline number on mobile Apps or
• Reception Services
• Or
• even our website and Google services

Please do not hesitate to contact Smart Numbers.

Amanda is the Star!

My London business is situated 100m from the 0208 boundary and it was important to have an 0208 number to be seen as a London business. Smart numbers have given me this. While the service works exactly as you would expect and I have no hesitation in recommending it, I want to commend Amanda Gratrix who was the advisor who signed me up. Not only was she very knowledgeable and a great representative of the business, she was also made the whole process more fun than I ever expected to have when purchasing a phone number! She's an absolute star!
