Running your business on a mobile number is quietly costing you work!

Google search on laptop showing business with a mobile number, and 2 competitors with landline numbers

(and your competitors are counting on it)

Customers search, they see your mobile number next to two competitors with local landlines, and they choose a landline.

No call. No voicemail. No explanation. Just a job that quietly went elsewhere – and you'll never know it happened.

The real cost

The jobs slipping through invisibly

Most business owners assume they'd know if they were losing work. But this loss is silent. No missed call notification. No voicemail. No data on the enquiries that never materialised.

  • You lose at first glance: Before a word is read, a number is processed – and a mobile signals smaller, less permanent, less safe. The decision forms in half a second.
  • Cheap diverts are half a solution: Inbound lands on your landline – fine. But you still call back from your mobile. The professional impression evaporates the moment you do.
  • Outbound is its own problem: A 07 number calling out gets ignored – associated with spam and cold calls. Answer rates drop and you never know why.
  • You can't measure invisible loss: There's no data on what never started. The only way to know is to fix it – and see the difference.
How they see you

When they see a mobile number

  • Probably a sole trader, hard to verify
  • Less established – might not be around long
  • Might not answer, might not be reliable
  • Feels risky – I'll try the landline one first

When they see a local landline

  • Based locally – knows the area
  • Established, been trading a while
  • Proper business – reliable, accountable
  • Safe choice – I'll give them a call

The Wicomms solution

One number. Complete presence. Inbound and outbound.

WicommsLandline isn't a divert. Your local landline number shows whether a customer calls you or you call them. The professional impression holds through every single interaction – from first search to follow-up call.

And because it's fully virtual, there's no copper line, no hardware, and no exposure to the UK's traditional landline switch-off in 2027. You get all the credibility of a landline – built on technology that's ready for whatever comes next.

📞 Local area code, your choice

Any UK geographic number. Pick the area code that signals local to your market – wherever your customers are.

📢 Outbound caller ID - always landline

Call customers back and your landline shows. Your mobile stays completely private. Everytime, without exception.

📱 Mobile and desktop app

No desk phone. No hardware. Works on the devices you already use, wherever you are working from.

∞ Unlimited UK calls included

No per-minute charges. No bill surprises at month end. One flat cost covers everything.

This is the start, not the ceiling. Wicomms looks after business communications end to end. As your business grows, we grow with it – one trusted partner, no call centres, no roundaround.

Pricing

The numbers speak for themselves

What's a new customer worth to your business? Whatever that number is – divide it by £12. That's how many months one job pays for. The only question is how many went to a competitor before you fixed it.

  • No setup fees
  • No hardware costs
  • No minimum term
  • Cancel any time
  • Live the same day*
The only thing you risk is wondering why you didn't do it sooner.

* Live the same day subject to setup completion during business hours. In periods of high demand, activation may be next working day.
