How to get a free virtual phone number in the UK (2026)
A genuinely free UK virtual number — no card, no line rental, no copper line. Here is exactly what you get for £0 and where the limits sit.
You can get a real UK phone number for £0 with no card on the Silux Call 14-day free trial. It is a proper UK geographic virtual number that rings on an app, desk phone or mobile, with no copper line and no line rental.
What "free" actually includes
- One UK number for 14 days, free, allocated at random.
- Free voicemail-to-email with transcripts.
- Free call forwarding/divert to your mobile.
- 30 outbound UK minutes; inbound is unlimited.
Where the limits are (honestly)
The free trial is one user with 30 outbound minutes for 14 days. After that, Entry is £4.75 per user per month with 2,000 outbound UK minutes and you choose your own number. Your first number is included with any plan; extra numbers are £5.99/month.
How to set it up
- Register for the 14-day free trial — no card.
- Pick a local area code (e.g. an
- 020 London number
- or
- 0161 Manchester number
- ).
- Install the app on your phone or open the browser softphone.
- Set voicemail and call-divert rules. Done.
Because it is VoIP, your free virtual number already survives the 2027 PSTN switch-off — unlike the copper line it replaces.
