You can give each employee a real UK mobile work number without buying a single handset. Order the lines from your portal, and each person scans a QR code to install the number as an eSIM that sits beside the SIM already in their phone. Most people are up and running in a few minutes.
Because the numbers are real Vodafone UK lines — not VoIP — they work for calls, texts, account signups, OTPs and 2FA. And because your company owns them, a number stays with the business when someone leaves.
What you need before you start
- An eSIM-capable phone for each person (most iPhones from XS onward and most recent Android flagships).
- A work email for each employee so you can send their install invite.
- A payment method on the account — lines are around £4.99/line/month.
Set up work numbers, step by step
- 1
Order your lines
Sign in at get started and open the portal at /app. Choose how many work numbers you need and add them to your team. You can add more at any time.
- 2
Assign each line to a person
Give each line a name and the employee’s work email. This links the number to the person while keeping ownership with the company.
- 3
Send the install invite
The portal emails each person a QR code and short instructions. You can also share the QR directly if you’re setting phones up in person.
- 4
Employee scans the QR
On their phone they open the camera or Settings → Add eSIM, scan the QR, and the work line installs beside their existing SIM. No new phone, no swapping the personal SIM out.
- 5
Label the work line
They name the new line "Work" and set their personal line as default for everyday use — so the work number is there when they need it. See dual SIM for work for the exact settings.
- 6
Make a test call
Ask them to make a quick call or send a text from the work line to confirm it’s live. That’s it — the number is ready for calls, texts and 2FA.
Why company ownership matters
When the company owns the number, it isn’t tied to one person’s handset or personal contract. If someone leaves, you reassign the line to their replacement from the portal and keep continuity with customers and accounts.

Frequently asked questions
Do employees need a new phone?
No. The work number installs as an eSIM beside the SIM already in their phone, as long as the handset supports dual SIM. Nothing is removed and their personal number stays the same.
How long does setup take?
Ordering takes a few minutes in the portal, and each employee’s install is usually done in under five minutes once they scan the QR.
Are these real phone numbers?
Yes — real UK mobile numbers on a real UK network (Vodafone UK), not virtual or VoIP. They work for calls, texts, account signups, OTPs and 2FA.
What happens when someone leaves?
The company owns the number, so you reassign the line to someone else from the portal. The number stays with the business.
