VoIP runs over an internet connection, so the technology does not depend on where a business is. What matters for businesses in Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man is the phone number. This is where we have a limit you should know about before you sign up.
The short answer:
- We cannot port Jersey (01534), Guernsey (01481) or Isle of Man (01624) numbers to VoIPninjas.
- If you want to keep an island number, keep it with its current provider.
- We supply UK numbers: 0330 numbers and UK geographic numbers, including London 020 and 01202.
- Most other UK numbers can be ported in. See our number porting guide.
- Before you order, tell us where your team works and which numbers you need, so we can confirm what we can supply.
Why island numbers are different
Island numbers look like UK numbers: 01534 for Jersey, 01481 for Guernsey and 01624 for the Isle of Man. We cannot move them using the number porting process we use for mainland UK numbers. Mainland providers that say they can port "any UK number" should be asked directly about island numbers before you rely on it.
What you can do from the islands
You do not have to give up your island number. Keep it with its current provider. If you also want a UK number, for example to look local to mainland customers, we can supply a 0330 number or a UK geographic number such as a London 020 or a Bournemouth 01202 number.
