Business phone systems and VoIP for Leith restaurants, agencies, port businesses and offices, from The Shore to Newhaven and Bonnington. Keep your 0131 numbers, with remote setup and no downtime.
Leith was a separate burgh and Edinburgh's port for centuries before merging with the city in 1920, and it still has a strong identity of its own. The docks remain active, handling cargo and supporting offshore and renewable energy work, while the old waterfront around The Shore has become one of Edinburgh's best-known places to eat and drink.
The extension of the tram line to Newhaven in 2023 has strengthened Leith's links to the city centre, and new homes, offices and workspaces have followed along Leith Walk and the waterfront. Government and public-sector offices at Victoria Quay bring a large office-based workforce.
Leith's business community is unusually varied: restaurants and bars, creative and digital agencies, port and marine services, trades in Bonnington and small independent shops. Each of them needs something different from a phone system.

0131 is the local dialling code for Leith. Whatever platform you move to, you keep the number your customers already know. See our 0131 numbers page for more on local numbers.
A VoIP system also makes it easy to add numbers: DDIs for departments or staff, a freephone line for enquiries, or a national 03 number if you sell across the UK. All of it is managed in one place, with no extra lines to install.
Hospitality, creative industries and public-sector offices account for much of Leith's employment, with port, marine and energy businesses at the docks and a strong base of independent retail and trades inland.
Restaurants need calls answered during service, agencies need phones that work from home and on the move, and port businesses need resilient, round-the-clock calling. We tailor each system rather than offering one package for everyone.

Get Expert Advice →The UK's PSTN and ISDN network is being switched off in stages. For Leith businesses, that means older lines, PBX systems and line-dependent kit need a modern replacement.
If your Leith premises still has analogue lines or ISDN, they'll need replacing with VoIP, SIP trunks or a digital line. Watch for less obvious kit too, such as card terminals, alarm diallers and door entry systems. Timings vary by exchange. Check where your lines stand with our PSTN switch-off checker.
Most Leith migrations follow the same four steps, and your existing lines stay live until the moment we switch you over.
Practical guidance for Leith businesses choosing a new phone system, replacing old lines or getting more out of VoIP.
During service, nobody has time to run to a ringing phone. A hosted system can play a greeting with opening hours and booking links, send calls to a cordless handset or mobile, and divert to voicemail-to-email when the kitchen is busy.
Multi-venue groups can share one number and one system across every site, with calls routed to whichever restaurant the caller chooses.
Branches, depots and satellite offices can all sit on one system. A EH6 site can answer calls for another location when it's busy, and reporting covers the whole business.
It also simplifies contracts: one supplier for phones, lines and connectivity across every site.
With VoIP, your business number rings wherever your team is: on a desk phone, a mobile app or a laptop. Staff working from home or on the road can make calls that show your 0131 number.
Managers keep visibility too, with call reporting across every user regardless of location.
