Calls
Are calls to Northern Ireland regarded as national calls?
Yes, calls to Northern Ireland are national calls, so the same rule of 59 minutes-per-call applies.
Be careful not to use the international prefix 0044 - or you'll be charged at the international rate. If you have an international add on, using the 0044 prefix will cause the minutes to be consumed from your allowance.

Your landline call question not here?
VOIP
What does VOIP mean?
Are VOIP and Broadband Voice the same product?
Broadband Voice, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and Voice over Broadband (VoBB) are different names for the same service.
Broadband Voice is a technology that allows you to use office phone services over your fixed broadband connection using your modem.
What call management services come with Broadband Voice?
The following call management services are available on Vodafone Broadband Voice:
- Call forwarding – you can forward your calls to any business or mobile number (may incur charges depending on type of call)
- Call twinning – when someone calls your business phone, your mobile will also ring, making it an additional handset
- Call barring – this gives you control over the kind of calls you can make from your business phone (premium, international, mobile)
Please note, voicemail is also available on your Vodafone Broadband Business Phone service.
To set up any of the above services call our customer care team on 1907.
How is Broadband Voice installed?
Setup is easy! Just follow the steps detailed below.
1. Once active, the phone LED light on your modem will flash. If the phone LED light is flashing you will need to restart your modem and wait 5 minutes until the light is static.
3. If this requires you to move your phone, then we recommend that you use a cordless (DECT) handset.
4. If you ordered voicemail as part of your services, you can access this feature by dialling 171. By now you will have received your voicemail PIN by text. For security reasons you will need to reset your PIN when you first access your voicemail.
5. To set up any additional call services, e.g. call answering or outgoing call barring, please call us on 1907.Â

What connection do I need to get Broadband Voice?
What happens to my current landline when I switch to Broadband Voice?
In most cases you can keep your current landline number when you move to Broadband Voice.Â
You can see our Broadband Voice terms and conditions here.
Is Broadband Voice impacted during power or broadband outages?
Broadband Voice will be unavailable during electricity or broadband service outages as the voice service is provided over broadband.
It is really important that you keep your mobile phone powered up to ensure you have access to voice and in particular emergency service calls using 999 or 112 if there is a power or broadband outage.
You may also consider purchasing a back-up battery service. We recommend purchasing online or if you look for information in our retail store our staff can direct you how to purchase a back-up battery service to support your business broadband or mobile service.
How are my phone services (e.g. monitored alarms) impacted by Broadband Voice?
Vodafone’s Broadband Voice services do not support any of the services below:
- Monitored house alarm systems
- Panic/medical alarm services
- Sky box pre-2008
- Fax lines/machines
- Any bank service machine that relies on an analogue connection (using dial-up equipment)Â
However, the majority of newer monitored alarm systems use a GSM (SIM card) solution to connect to the monitoring station and do not require a traditional landline.
If your system still uses a landline, you can contact your alarm provider to upgrade to a GSM solution. This will enable the alarm to be monitored over the mobile network using a SIM card, replacing the reliance on a landline.

How do I move a number to Vodafone Business UC with RingCentral?
To move phone numbers from your existing phones line to Vodafone Business UC with RingCentral, there are a few important steps you need to take. When the numbers have been moved, it will take about an hour to take effect.
- Check the Letter of Authority is in the Customer Acceptance Form (CAF). This letter will have all your numbers you want to move to Vodafone. It’s important you pay attention to the numbers on the Letter of Authority and that you ensure there are no mistakes and that the numbers are complete with location (office address, not the billing address, if the billing and office address is the same, use the same address). Use the same office address for all users, even if some are ‘remote’ in your organisation.

If the agreed date no longer suits, it can be changed. Moving phone numbers can take place anytime between Monday-Friday, 9.00-17.00. We recommend picking a day between Monday and Thursday so that if there are any issues, these can be resolved on the Friday.
- On the agreed day, you (or someone you have chosen to work on your behalf) will be invited on a call where the Voice Delivery Team will work through the process. There will be about an hour while the numbers move over. The numbers will then become available on the number inventory page of the admin portal. (Note – you might have to log out and log back into the admin portal to refresh the content)
- Swap the temporary numbers for your numbers on the admin portal, as explained in the FAQ "How do I swap a number?". The users should then be able to make and receive calls. Users might need to log out and log back in to refresh their new numbers if it's not working. If you are an admin, don’t forget to install the app on the desktop for the best experience.
