UK rules to know

Before You Switch Your UK Number

Three things UK businesses ask about most.

The landline switch-offBT is retiring the old copper phone network (PSTN) at the end of January 2027. A Calilio number runs over the internet, so it isn't affected. Port your landline number now and keep it.
Identity checksOfcom expects providers to check who they give UK numbers to, to stop scam calls. That's why Calilio asks for ID, and sometimes a UK address, before a number goes live.
Marketing calls and TPSDon't make unsolicited sales calls to people registered with the Telephone Preference Service (TPS). Screen your call lists first, and tell callers when a call is recorded.
