With the UK expecting landline phones to be shut down by 2025, businesses are faced with a choice: hop on the VoIP bandwagon or risk being left in a communication black hole with their customers.
It’s a no-brainer that companies must shift to implementing a VoIP service, and we recognise the difficulties in finding a service provider that is both dependable and trustworthy, easy to use, and aligns with the specific needs of your company.
Simply Business, trusted by over 900,000 businesses, took a closer look at VoIP phone system providers to see which ones are the best for UK small businesses and make that process seamless.

Parrish noted how our remarkable reputation sets us apart from our competitors, evidenced by our exceptional customer reviews, affordable VoIP plan options and the bonus of our try before you buy philosophy with free trials before committing.
We are thrilled to be recognised, and let’s dive deeper into the insightful comments provided by Parrish.

Unbeatable pricing
It’s true! Businesses can save huge with our affordable VoIP offers. This includes £47.40 off our unlimited calling service in the first 12 months with our £9.95 a month promotional offer for all new businesses. Enjoy a digital phone line and local number, unlimited inbound calls, and unlimited calls to UK landline and mobiles, plus 45+ other business calling features.
Designed for business owners, not IT wizards
Our mission is to help small businesses transition seamlessly to VoIP digital telephony as the BT PSTN Shutdown forces a seismic shift from 100-year copper technology to a digital future. We’ve designed our product to be easy to navigate to allow first-timer VoIP users to use our service without needing an IT guru on hand. This includes our MYbOnline portal providing 24/7 access to manage call flows, professional greetings, etc.
FREE TRIALS - Our TRY before you BUY philosophy
We want to ensure that you will enjoy the service we provide. We stand by our try before you buy philosophy, offering a 7-day free trial before selecting a plan. We believe businesses should always insist on this before locking into a contract, and we want you to be confident in your choice. That’s why you can test out your service before switching to VoIP to make sure it’s right for you and your business.
50+ business calling features
Stay one step ahead of your competitors by leveraging our 50+ calling features. Specifically designed for small business owners, these features provide capabilities that aren’t available with traditional landlines. Unlock a range of features, including text-to-speech greetings, on-demand call recording, plus call forwarding and efficient call flow management. These features enable you to streamline your call handling processes, while also keeping track of customer needs and concerns, allowing you to address them promptly and enhance your business operations.
Simply Business highlighted multi-factor authentication features as a point of concern; however, our mobile apps support bio-metics logins as well as our customer portal proving the option to enforce Google authentication if preferred. We’re actively incorporating more security options in the latest version of our product due to be released in 2023.
Additionally, our product team is constantly improving our product based on customer feedback and where the market is moving to next, so we’ve passed this along customisable call lists and the integration of an auto-dialer system for our future product roadmap or integrations.
