Keep your 01603 number
Nothing to port. Set your existing 01603 line to forward to your Silux Voice number — every call, or only when you’re busy or don’t pick up — and callers in Norwich 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 01603 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 Norwich 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 01603 number either way.
What the switch-off means for your business →Holidays: England has eight bank holidays a year, including Easter Monday and the late-May and August bank holidays. Set your own closures and it tells callers you’re shut rather than booking them in.

Questions from Norwich
Will my Norwich customers still ring my 01603 number?
Yes. You forward calls from your existing 01603 number to your Silux Voice number — every call, or only when you are busy or don’t answer — so customers in Norwich 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 it follow Norwich opening hours and bank holidays?
You set your opening hours and holiday closures, and it answers accordingly on Europe/London time. England has eight bank holidays a year, including Easter Monday and the late-May and August bank holidays.
Which Norwich businesses is it set up for?
Any business that takes calls. There are ready-made setups for Financial Services & Mortgages, Restaurants & Hospitality, Plumbing & Heating, Veterinary Practice and more, each with the departments and rules that trade needs.
Does the PSTN switch-off affect my Norwich business?
If you still have a copper landline or ISDN, yes — the UK switch-off is due to complete by January 2027. Your 01603 number moves with you to a digital line, and can forward to your receptionist from day one.
