Keep your 01224 number
Nothing to port. Set your existing 01224 line to forward to your Silux Voice number — every call, or only when you’re busy or don’t pick up — and callers in Aberdeen keep dialling the number on your van, sign or website. Prefer a fresh number? Silux Call, our phone service, allocates one for you.
The copper switch-off and your 01224 line
BT and Openreach are retiring the old copper phone network (PSTN), moving UK landlines to digital, with the switch-off due to complete by January 2027. If your Aberdeen business still has a traditional landline or ISDN, you will need to move — and it is a good moment to put a receptionist on the number at the same time. You keep your 01224 number either way.
What the switch-off means for your business →Holidays: Scotland’s bank holidays differ from England’s — 2 January, the first Monday in August and St Andrew’s Day are Scottish holidays, and many local holidays are set by the council. Set your own closures and it tells callers you’re shut rather than booking them in.

Questions from Aberdeen
Can I keep my 01224 number?
Yes. You forward calls from your existing 01224 number to your Silux Voice number — every call, or only when you are busy or don’t answer — so customers in Aberdeen keep ringing the number they already know. Nothing has to be ported. If you would rather have a new number, Silux Call, our phone service, allocates one for you.
Does the PSTN switch-off affect my Aberdeen business?
If you still have a copper landline or ISDN, yes — the UK switch-off is due to complete by January 2027. Your 01224 number moves with you to a digital line, and can forward to your receptionist from day one.
How much is Silux Voice for a Aberdeen business?
From £24.99 a month (Starter, 250 minutes); Growth is £49.99 and Professional £99.99. Try it free for 14 days first — no card.
Will it know when my Aberdeen business is closed?
You set your opening hours and holiday closures, and it answers accordingly on Europe/London time. Scotland’s bank holidays differ from England’s — 2 January, the first Monday in August and St Andrew’s Day are Scottish holidays, and many local holidays are set by the council.
What should I know about Aberdeen?
Aberdeen is the centre of the UK’s North Sea oil and gas industry and its move into renewable energy. Your receptionist can be told about local landmarks, parking and directions in its knowledge base, so it gives callers the same answer your team would.
