Don't have an office in Leicester? You can still get a 0116 number.

Your virtual 0116 number isn't tied to a particular desk or phone.

Who it's for

Why Businesses Buy a Local 0116 Phone Number

A local telephone number is one of the simplest ways to appear established across Leicester — and one of the most common reasons businesses come to us for a Leicester number specifically.

A local 0116 number gives customers a familiar Leicester number to call, even if your team works from a different city entirely. Leicester is home to more than 355,000 people — a local prefix can help customers recognise your business as serving the Leicester and East Midlands market.

Whether you need a single new telephone number to test the Leicester market, or want to bulk buy a batch of local 0116 phone numbers for a distributed sales team, T2K provisions numbers with routing live within 24 hours of ordering.

FAQ

0116 Telephone Numbers — Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get a 0116 number if my business isn't based in Leicester?
Yes. Your virtual 0116 number isn't tied to a particular desk or phone — calls are routed to your mobile, landline or VoIP system wherever you're based, anywhere in the UK.
Does 0116 cover Oadby or Wigston too?
Yes — 0116 extends beyond Leicester city itself to cover nearby towns including Oadby, Wigston and Enderby. However, Coventry (024) and Loughborough (01509) have their own separate area codes.
How quickly can I get a new local number?
Most single 0116 numbers are live and routing calls within 24 hours of ordering. Bulk orders typically take slightly longer depending on volume and routing requirements.
What does it cost to call a 0116 number?
0116 is a UK geographic number. Calls are normally charged at the caller's standard rate for geographic numbers, and are often included within UK inclusive minutes, depending on their phone package.
Can I bulk buy multiple 0116 telephone numbers?
Yes. We regularly supply bulk local number orders to agencies, call centres, and multi-brand or multi-site businesses, managed centrally through one account with volume-based pricing.
Do I need new hardware to use a new 0116 number?
No. Your number forwards to whatever you already use — mobile, existing landline, or a VoIP system — with no engineer visit or new equipment required.
Can I keep the number if I later move to a full VoIP phone system?
Yes. Any local number you purchase can be ported across to a full hosted phone system such as Gamma Horizon or 3CX later on with zero gap in service. If you're still on a traditional landline, check our PSTN switch-off checker → to see your migration deadline.
