## Tips on choosing the right number

To find a UK phone number, enter any special sequences you would like, then pick a price band and press 'search'. Alternatively, browse through the selection of numbers above. Click on a number to add it to your order.

Take your time looking at all the numbers on offer. Scroll through the listings. Compile a short-list. Read the numbers aloud to see how they sound. Ask a friend or colleague for their thoughts.

Choose a number that reflects your company. The most memorable numbers project the best professional image. If you want an even better number, see our gold numbers.

Think about business-related words. Most phone keypads have letters alongside the numbers. Using these is a fun way to advertise that's especially popular in the United States. For example, a photographer may want a number that spells PHOTO (contains 74686). Our number chooser can search for words, as well as digits.

Look for consecutive numbers. If you want more than one number (eg a voice number and a fax number), then buy two numbers that follow in sequence (eg the first ends with '1' the second with '2'). If this might be an option in the future, ask us to reserve the other numbers for you. Call us on {SUB:contact_tel}.

Consider number sequences you use already: You may find a number that's very similar to your existing one. For example, If your number ends with 5243, then look for an UK virtual number that ends the same way.

Try to choose a memorable number. If you want something catchy, such as number featuring repeated sequences of digits (eg {DYN:range} 4545 5000) go straight to our gold numbers page.
