Keep your 0131 number
Nothing to port. Set your existing 0131 line to forward to your Silux Voice number — every call, or only when you’re busy or don’t pick up — and callers in Musselburgh 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 0131 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 Musselburgh 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 0131 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.
