Who are we?

Back in 2019 a super smart chap called Hussain Youssef realised there was a dire need for competition in the memorable mobile number niche. It was dominated by a few incumbents who had effectively monopolised access, inflated prices and operated inefficiently. He believed customers, who are paying dear prices, deserved a lot better - they deserve better access, at cheaper prices and at superior levels of service.

Currently, this niche is not competitive enough. This makes the few players complacent and leads to higher prices for consumers with limited alternatives. British Numbers aims to outcompete the incumbents through the use of innovative processes, technology and marketing.

We're automating all the low-value and administrative activities so that our focus remains on what really matters: reducing prices and providing an exceptional experience for customers.

We're a business that focuses on providing high-quality mobile numbers for individuals and businesses alike. We want to make it easy for our customers to acquire high-quality and personalised numbers.

In 2023, we introduced the UK's first Gold Numbers Reseller Program. A unique opportunity for small busiensses and entrepreneurs to fulfil untapped demand and generate a new revenue stream.

When you think of numbers, you probably think of something boring and stuffy—but not us! We're all about making mobile numbers fun, exciting, personal and accessible, so we've built our business around this idea.

If you're looking for an easy way to get started with your own gold mobile number, look no further than British Numbers. We've got everything from the rarest gold numbers to the most personalised numbers created by YOU. Ordering a new number has never been easier with British Numbers!

Our mission is simple: we want to make our customers happy by offering them better products and services at lower prices than our competitors.

Our goal is absolute: to become the go-to destination for anything related to mobile numbers - whether that be buying gold numbers, creating a custom number or simply ordering a free SIM.

We're British Numbers, and we're here to help you get the most out of your mobile number.

Perhaps the most difficult aspect of buying a new mobile number is selecting one from our fantastic and wide range! Fear not, we have made it easier than ever to find your perfect number. We offer two kinds of mobile numbers - memorable numbers and custom numbers.

Memorable numbers

Our 12,000+ memorable numbers are categorised into three groups:

• Fancy Numbers: priced up to £500
• Gold Numbers: priced between £500 and £1,000
• Cherished Numbers: priced at £1,000+

You'll notice that we also offer so-called VIP Numbers - these are numbers held in stock and therefore can be delivered within 1-2 working days, as opposed to the standard 7 working days.

Mobile numbers for sale are also tagged with the most common types of numbers - these include repetitive, alternating, chronological and special number combinations.

All of our shop pages include great features to help you find your perfect number - including filters, sorting and a search bar throughout our website. The search bar works well if you are looking for certain types of memorable numbers.

Whether you’re switching your number, coming from another network or starting from scratch, joining is a breeze. Oh, and if you are just switching numbers you can keep your current contract, plan and/or SIM (or get a shiny new one) when you do.

Custom Numbers

With access to 1m+ mobile numbers, it is difficult for us to anticipate all customer preferences. If you're looking for something specific, we make it easy for you to create a custom mobile number. Simply let us know the last 6 or 7 digits you'd like to feature at the end of the new number and leave the rest to us.

We've always been surprised by the creativity and original ways users have benefited from this service - with plenty of interest from individuals and businesses, reflecting a gap in the market. Automated systems help us process large volumes of requests efficiently. Here's how it works.

Submit a custom number request through our website by entering the last 6 or 7 digits that you would like to feature at the end of your new mobile number. We will source available options matching the request from all network providers.

You should receive a list of available numbers and prices within 1-3 working days by email. Let us know which number(s) interest you by return email to initiate a purchase order.

Delivery for custom mobile numbers can take 7-10 working days to complete.
