Business phone systems and VoIP for Stockport offices, shops, practices and Portwood trade firms. Keep your 0161 numbers, move off copper lines and get one UK support team for phones and broadband.
Stockport is one of Greater Manchester's largest towns, with a borough population of around 304,000 in ONS mid-2024 estimates. Its station sits on the West Coast Main Line, with frequent trains to Manchester Piccadilly and direct services to London, which has made SK1 an increasingly popular office location.
The town centre has been through significant regeneration. Stockport Exchange next to the station has brought modern offices, the Old Town around the Market Place and Underbank has been revived by independent shops, bars and studios, and new homes and leisure have been added around the Mersey.
Beyond the centre, Portwood and the Tame Valley house light industrial, trade and distribution businesses, while Hillgate and Heaton Lane have a mix of professional services, healthcare and small offices. Most need reliable, modern phones without the cost of an on-site PBX.

0161 is the local dialling code for Stockport. Whatever platform you move to, you keep the number your customers already know. See our 0161 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.
Stockport's business base is broad. Professional and financial services, healthcare and retail are major employers, with a growing number of technology and e-commerce businesses around the station and in the Old Town's creative workspaces.
Many firms are small and established, which means older phone systems and analogue lines are common. Moving them onto VoIP usually cuts costs and adds features like call recording, mobile apps and voicemail-to-email without new hardware.

If your Stockport 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.

A plain-English guide to business VoIP for Stockport firms, covering the questions that come up most often on our calls.
The independents in the Old Town and on the high street often run on a single line and a mobile. A hosted system lets them answer the business number on both, set opening hours and send out-of-hours calls to voicemail-to-email, for not much more than the cost of the line.
As the business grows, extra users and numbers can be added in minutes.
A traditional line carries one call at a time over copper and offers little beyond basic forwarding. A VoIP phone system carries voice over your broadband or a leased line, so you can run as many simultaneous calls as you have licences, add users in minutes and take calls anywhere.
For most Stockport businesses, VoIP also lowers line rental and call costs, and brings features such as auto-attendants, call recording and voicemail-to-email as standard.
An ageing PBX in the comms cupboard is often the biggest risk to a SK1 business's phones: spare parts get harder to find, and the lines it relies on are being withdrawn.
We can move you to a hosted system, upgrade to a current on-premise platform, or connect what you have to SIP trunks, whichever makes most sense for your budget.
