Keep your 01463 number
Nothing to port. Set your existing 01463 line to forward to your Silux Voice number — every call, or only when you’re busy or don’t pick up — and callers in Inverness 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 01463 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 Inverness 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 01463 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 Inverness
Can I keep my 01463 number?
Yes. You forward calls from your existing 01463 number to your Silux Voice number — every call, or only when you are busy or don’t answer — so customers in Inverness 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.

What happens when my Inverness business is shut for a holiday?
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.
