Connect to Premitel: Keep Your Phone Number & Save Money
The Premitel VoIP Phone Service is a feature-rich cloud VoIP solution that is the ideal replacement for analogue and ISDN phone lines and office phone systems that are being phased out rapidly across the UK.
It is a cost-effective internet phone solution for homes and businesses that are making the switch to internet-only broadband services such as Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP), SoGEA or STARLINK.
The Premitel VoIP Phone Service is a better internet phone solution than the Digital Voice services that are available from service providers such as BT, Talk Talk and Sky.
You can get a new phone number with the area code of your choice, or you can keep your current phone number(s) and continue to use existing devices such as phones and alarm equipment.
Alternatively, you can buy new VoIP phones from our online shop. These include cordless phones and WiFi desk-phones.
The Premitel VoIP Phone Service also includes, at no extra cost, a smart-phone app and a web-phone app. The latter enables calls to be made and received on any internet browser such as Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari.
I have no other connection with the company and live 160 miles south of them.
First Rate! 100%.

The whole process was simple timely - on the day of the number switch I was informed by Stephen just after 9am that it was complete! - and he kept me informed of progress and answered my beginner questions throughout. One last thing to note is that the pricing plans are flexible and very low cost at £5 per month for a suitable plan. All this and the company is based quite close to me in East Lothian (though the services are not bound by location) so a local business get the benefit.
I have no hesitation in recommending Premitel Communications and their VoIP service for home use and I am certain that the business side of things will be just as good and professional.
I had been attempting to switch to broadband providers who would keep my original home phone number without interruptions to the service; however, that turned out to be next to impossible in spite of assurances and supposed guarantees to the contrary. Premitel gives me the peace of mind knowing that I now retain my original house phone number whatever broadband I may switch to.
Great!
The tariffs are extremely low and the customer service is excellent. Stephen was very patient with me during the set-up phase (long delays from Openreach for the activation of fibre line) and his instructions were extremely clear.
Cost Effective Tariffs
The Premitel VoIP Phone Service is not only a better solution than existing analogue or ISDN phone lines and phone systems, but also costs less!
Our entry level Talk 10 tariff is priced at only £1 plus vat, per month, per user and includes 5 minutes of UK landline and mobile calls each month.
The table below shows that the Premitel VoIP Phone Service has six tariff options to suit all types of user.
Note that there are per-user discounts for multi-user businesses, see “For Multi-User Business” section below.
Tariff Notes:
- Inclusive calls with the 07 prefix are to numbers associated with the main UK mobile networks: EE; Three; O2; Orange; Virgin; and Vodafone.
- Overage is the call charge rate that would apply after the inclusive minute limit has been breached.
- To enable us to maintain low monthly service charges, we apply an inclusive call limit for Inbound calls, after which Inbound calls are charged at £0.01 per minute. That limit is double the inclusive outgoing minutes applicable to each tariff.
- Upward duration rounding of 7 seconds is applied to UK calls, and 30 seconds to International calls.
- Call recordings are stored for 30 days before being deleted. During the 30 day period they can be downloaded to your PC or other device.
- Voicemail transcription converts an audio voicemail message to text. The text is sent in the body of an email to which the audio file is attached.
Our rate card for Other Calls (eg premium rate calls and international calls) can be downloaded in Excel spreadsheet format by clicking here.

It is based on the global NetSapiens Voice Platform which has over 7 million users worldwide.
The tariffs for multi-user businesses are based on the same tariff table above that applies to single-user homes and small businesses, but with the following per-user discount bands:

- 30 – 59 users: 15% discount

We do all the work to transfer your existing phone number(s) and there is no contract which means that you can cancel, or switch, at the end of the current billing month.
