Simple, Easy, and Great Customer Service

I'm a British expat living in Italy, and I need a UK number for dealing with banks and officialdom that can't dial an international number. After my current UK provider dropped 3G coverage, I needed something to replace them.
I was a little confused to start with during registration about which number to register, and I ended up using the wrong one. Simon from customer services was quick to help, and within a few days, I was up and running. It's so nice (and very surprising) to come across good customer service these days, but to find one that exceeds expectations is even rarer.

Expatriate in Europe

I moved to Portugal and wished to keep my UK mobile telephone number which I have had for over thirty years whithout having to endure excessive roaming costs.
Swytch has been the perfect solution. Family friends and other contacts back at home can keep on calling and SMS me on my usual UK number as if I were still living in the UK and I can reach them at a minimal cost.

Keeping UK number and service when moving abroad

Wanted to keep my daughter's UK number while she's in Spain for a year. Simon at Swytch was very helpful and patient at explaining the process and leading us through the stages step by step despite a number of complications at our end which arose along the way.
Prompt replies, clear instructions and very satisfied with both the customer and telephone service.

The virtual number worked very well when we were required to have to a UK number that we could answer while overseas. Their customer service was very responsive and the price was reasonable

Great way to keep uk number as an expat abroad

I used Swytch as an expat abroad. I wanted to keep my UK number to receive OTPs and calls and so I could reuse it when I returned. Porting into and out of Swytch was easy and above all the customer service is personal and quick to respond. I needed a quick port in to avoid losing my number and Swytch made it happen.

Excellent service for expats living abroad

I used Swytch for two years while living outside the UK. An excellent service which allowed me to keep my UK number active and receive security codes and other important messages. No problems with starting the service or porting out at the end. Would highly recommend to anyone in a similar situation.

Excellent business

Found the support from Swytch mobile fantastic. I will definitely use this company again. It was very easy to set up and there were no hidden or sudden charges. I was concerned that when I no longer needed this mobile service I'd have issues trying to end it, but it was very simple, easy and there was no wait period before the service ended. It was all very transparent and I do hope this business goes from strength to strength. I ended my subscription yesterday as I no longer need this mobile number. I used my Swytch mobile number for about 6 months

So lucky to have Switched to Swytch

Having moved abroad for a year, I was able to keep my UK number. Was a very easy process for porting in and porting-out. Customer service is excellent - very quick to respond and provide helpful resolution. Have had no issues with their service. The only area of improvement I'd suggest is their app. It has a very primitive UI but does the job. Would highly recommend.

Absolutely excellent service support

Absolutely excellent service support, in short the best I have ever experienced. Simon went the extra mile to seek to sort out any issues and my requests were answered fantastically quickly. A good app with excellent service support by people who really care about providing the best. Many thanks

Excellent tech support to port in old UK number

Having read the other reviews, I felt happy to use this company to set up a UK number and port my old number from EE as I have emigrated to the US. Having an UK number, and especially having my old number out here makes receiving all the text validation codes from various companies I use, much simpler. Also, it means any contacts from the UK can still get hold of me via Swytch.
I understood that the process of porting the old number into switch would take a little time. Seimon and then John from tech support walk me through the steps by (E-mail). They were responsive, helpful and gave me workarounds if any of the steps didn’t work.
The whole process took awhile, but that was down to me contacting EE but not receiving the PAC number first time.
So be prepared that it might take awhile but I highly recommend Swytch, as once it’s set up you don’t need to worry about a UK mobile phone provider withdrawing service or charging high roaming costs.
I kept my EE number going until the port was completed.

Many thanks for excellent service.

Thank you for your kind words. Once we start a port in with a valid PAC code, ports will complete within 3 working days and typically sooner. So pleased we could be of service. Thank you.
