The Service
Deskphone Go is a mobile network that allows users to make and receive calls over landline numbers. It’s a mobile network built from the ground up for businesses and incorporates many advanced other features normally only found on business office phone systems. Because it’s a mobile network and not an app it’s reliable and works seamlessly with your mobile phone.
Your landline number. When you make an outbound call from your Go SIM the call will come from your landline number. The person you are calling will see your landline number as your caller ID and would not know it’s been made from a mobile. If you have a team multiple mobiles can share the same landline for both outbound and inbound calls.
O2, Vodafone and EE. Our Deskphone Go SIM’s can roam across all three of the UK’s top mobile networks to maximise coverage. You get the benefit of all three networks through a single SIM. Our UK roaming works by the the SIM always trying to maintain a connection to our core network (O2). If they lose signal on O2 they can roam onto Vodafone or EE if their coverage is better. If you would like to find out more about this feature please email sales@desk-phone.com
It’s very reliable – Because we use three mobile networks we can offer wider coverage and better redundancy than other UK mobile networks an MVNO’s. Because our network is targeted at businesses the reliability of our service is of paramount importance to us.
No Deskphone GO is not VOIP. VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) uses smartphone apps to make and receive calls over the internet. Our Deskphone Go Service uses traditional GSM mobile networks to make calls. Because you’re not relying on data or WiFi the reliability and call quality is much higher using Deskphone Go.
No. Once you install one of our Go SIM’s you don’t need to install any software. Just use your mobile as normal to make and receive calls and benefit from our wide range of features.
BT’s Cloud service is a VoIP service. You need to install an app on your smartphone or use an IP phone. Calls are made using your data or WiFi connection so your connection needs to be incredibly stable or you can’t make clear calls.
One net is probably the most similar service to Deskphone Go in terms of the way it works. You are however locked into using Vodafone only and it’s comparatively expensive.
A virtual landline is a landline with a permanent divert to a mobile number. Inbound calls to your virtual landline will be forwarded to your mobile but they don’t allow you to make calls from your landline number. Therefore if you miss a call and want to dial back you will be displaying your mobile number not your landline.
Deskphone Go was built from the ground up for businesses not consumers. It’s been designed to offer a wide range of features and to simplify and streamline communication for companies.
Our SIM’s are enabled to roam worldwide. Roam Like at Home applies whilst in the EU but please check with support before roaming outside the EU. Roaming charges are significantly more expensive and you are liable to pay any charges incurred – we do not offer roaming capping on your bill.

Only after registration does the number belong to you and can be ported out of our systems.
