How Silux Call compares
Silux Call next to the UK providers people actually switch from — plan by plan, at the same price point, in pounds. Every rival figure is from their own website, with the source listed at the bottom of this page.
In short: we charge per user, and every user gets their own UK number. Plus is £8.95 per user with unlimited UK landline and mobile calls; Pro is £14.95 per user with an AI receptionist. No contract, unlimited inbound calls on every plan, and a 14-day trial with no card.
Like for like, band by band
Plans grouped by what they cost, so every column is a real alternative to the one beside it. The first row is what a realistic team pays each month. Where a feature is on a higher Silux plan we say which one, rather than pretend it is included. Prices ex-VAT, checked 26 September 2026.
Around £5 — a proper business number
One person, one number. The plan most sole traders buy — and where the minutes on offer differ the most. Silux plan in this band: Entry, £4.75 per user.

Tamar’s £5 and £10 plans are metered on incoming calls diverted to your phone; making outbound calls needs a separate plan whose price they do not publish. Silux minutes are the calls you make; inbound is unlimited on every plan. Spotted a price that has moved? Tell us and we will correct it.

Questions
How is Silux Call priced differently from other UK providers?
Silux Call is priced per user, like most UK providers, but for less — and every user gets their own UK number included. Plus is £8.95 per user a month with unlimited UK calls, so three people cost £26.85 against about £30 on a typical £10-per-user plan. Prices are ex-VAT with no contract.
Is there a free trial?
Yes — 14 days, no card needed: one user, one UK number and 30 outbound minutes. After that you choose a paid plan.
Can I keep my existing phone number?
Yes. Porting a UK number to Silux Call is free on every paid plan, and your old line keeps working until the move completes.
Which Silux plan includes the AI receptionist?
Pro (£14.95 per user) includes 20 AI receptionist minutes a month. On other plans it is an add-on at £15 a month.
