Keep your 01788 number
Nothing to port. Set your existing 01788 line to forward to your Silux Voice number — every call, or only when you’re busy or don’t pick up — and callers in Rugby 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 01788 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 Rugby 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 01788 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 Rugby
Will my Rugby customers still ring my 01788 number?
Yes. You forward calls from your existing 01788 number to your Silux Voice number — every call, or only when you are busy or don’t answer — so customers in Rugby 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.
Is Silux Voice based in Rugby?
No — Silux Voice has no local offices. It is set up online in minutes with a guided planner, you test it in a chat before going live, and it answers for Rugby businesses the same way it does everywhere.
Does the PSTN switch-off affect my Rugby business?
If you still have a copper landline or ISDN, yes — the UK switch-off is due to complete by January 2027. Your 01788 number moves with you to a digital line, and can forward to your receptionist from day one.
How much is Silux Voice for a Rugby 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.
Is there a ready-made setup for my kind of Rugby business?
Any business that takes calls. There are ready-made setups for Logistics & Transport, Engineering Consultancies, Plumbing & Heating, Schools & Education and more, each with the departments and rules that trade needs.
Anything particular about Rugby?
Rugby is the town where the game of rugby football is said to have begun, at Rugby School. 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.
What happens when my Rugby business is shut for a holiday?
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.
