If you grew up in the nineties, you're sure to remember late nights spent whispering on the house phone, hoping your mum doesn’t listen in on the call. But with the arrival of shiny smartphones, we’ve slowly disconnected from the landline and swapped hour-long natters for communication by way of memes.
So, you can imagine how chuffed we were to learn that a tech company has launched a nostalgic product for your smartphone — and it's perfect for small businesses and nineties kids alike.
With thousands of five-star reviews on Trustpilot, the unique service has been called 'absolutely brilliant' by customers who are thrilled with the ‘game-changing’ invention.
One happy customer wrote, “Does what it says on the tin" whilst another raved about the cost, commenting: "Cheap as chips”. A third agreed, simply writing: “Impressed with these guys.”
The service, which is designed for small businesses, comes off the back of a recent resurgence of the landline phone on TikTok. Gen Z are of course the culprits behind the trend, proudly showcasing their ‘retro’ phones on the social media platform.
So, where can you get your hands on the landline number service everyone is talking about?
How does the landline service work?
- All you need to do is choose your local area code to create a new telephone number. If you’d prefer, you can sign up to a national 0330 number for the same price.
- Then, provide the company with the mobile number you’d like your new landline number to link up to. Your new number will arrive in your email inbox in minutes.
- Then, jump into your account, set up a welcome message (AI can even do this for you if you’re shy), choose hold music, and turn on call recording if this is a feature you're interested in.
- If you don’t feel like talking, you can message mates using your new landline WhatsApp account at any time.
How much does it cost?
You can sign up to the service for free with a seven-day trial. This will give you access to everything from custom welcome messages and hold music to a personalised voicemail.
If you like your new landline number, it’s only £9.99 a month moving forward.
The best part? You don’t need a contract and can cancel at any time.
We hate to admit it, but this is a Gen Z trend we don't mind getting on board with.
