FAQ

Local Number FAQs

What is a local phone number?
A local phone number is a UK landline number beginning with 01 or 02 associated with a specific geographic area. With Giant, you can get a local number for any UK area code.
Can I get a local number if I don't live in that area?
Absolutely. You could be based in Cornwall and have a London 020 number, a Manchester 0161 number, and a Birmingham 0121 number — all routing to your mobile phone.
Can I keep my existing phone number?
Yes. We can port your existing UK landline number. The transfer typically takes 8-20 working days.
What happens when someone calls my local number?
The call routes through our cloud platform to your mobile, landline, Giant app, or custom routing rules.
How much does it cost callers?
Calls to 01 and 02 numbers cost the same as any standard UK landline call. Most mobile contracts include free landline minutes.
Is this affected by the BT/PSTN switch-off?
No — we are the solution. Traditional analogue lines are being switched off by January 2027. All Giant numbers are already fully digital.

How Virtual Local Numbers Work

Virtual local numbers are cloud-based telephone numbers. When a customer dials your local number, the call routes through our network to your mobile, landline, or free VoIP app. You control everything through an online dashboard.

The PSTN Switch-Off

The UK analogue telephone network is being switched off by January 2027. Giant virtual numbers are already fully digital — nothing to migrate later.
