Keep your 01446 number
Nothing to port. Set your existing 01446 line to forward to your Silux Voice number — every call, or only when you’re busy or don’t pick up — and callers in Barry 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 01446 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 Barry 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 01446 number either way.
What the switch-off means for your business →Holidays: Wales follows the same bank holidays as England. Set your own closures and it tells callers you’re shut rather than booking them in.

Questions from Barry
Will my Barry customers still ring my 01446 number?
Yes. You forward calls from your existing 01446 number to your Silux Voice number — every call, or only when you are busy or don’t answer — so customers in Barry 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 Barry business?
If you still have a copper landline or ISDN, yes — the UK switch-off is due to complete by January 2027. Your 01446 number moves with you to a digital line, and can forward to your receptionist from day one.
