What is Virtual landline?

A virtual landline is a UK phone number that works over the internet instead of a copper line, so it rings on an app, desk phone or mobile from anywhere — no physical line or line rental required.

Providers such as Virtual Landline and Tamar Telecommunications sell number-forwarding virtual landlines. Silux Call gives you the same UK geographic, 03 or 0800 number — but on a full hosted PBX with an AI receptionist, scam-call screening, GDPR call recording and a free seat tier, all in GBP. Because it is VoIP, a virtual landline is the standard replacement for copper lines ahead of the 2027 PSTN switch-off.
