NEW Real-Time Auto Call Blocking for Instant Scam Security

As a Phonely customer, get automatic protection against known and emerging scam numbers

Phonely automatically blocks numbers reported on our 'who called me' website within an hour, protecting you from the latest scam calls for free. By the end of each day, we also block numbers commonly barred by other Phonely customers on their accounts.

Unlike other providers that update their databases monthly via third-party databases, our in-house system offers timely and relevant protection. This approach keeps you safe from both known scammers and emerging threats, even as criminals rapidly change their digital numbers.

With Phonely, you're not just blocking numbers you know about – you're benefiting from the collective vigilance of our entire Phonely family. This bold, community-driven protection is included free with any Phonely plan.

What is Digital Voice?

In a nutshell, digital voice, or VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) is a phone system that uses the Internet for communication. Instead of plugging your handset into your wall telephone socket, you plug it into your router (if it's compatible).

Switching Made Easy for Everyone

Changing to a digital landline is easier than it sounds, especially with Phonely. We have written guides, videos and a dedicated team on hand to walk you through it from start to finish if that's what you need.

Before you sign up with Phonely, there are a few things you may need to consider or ask yourself.

  • Should I keep my existing number?
    With Phonely you can bring your number with you, or we can supply you with a new one. Whichever you choose, it won't cost you extra.
  • Can I keep my existing handset?
    If you have an analogue phone that you'd like to keep using, you can purchase a VoIP adapter. You also have the option to buy a new digital voice handset if you fancy an upgrade. Or if you already have one & are technically minded you could calibrate it for Phonely's system. Our FAQ section can provide you with more information on this.
  • Do I need a broadband provider?
    Phonely does not provide a broadband service. So, when switching you'll need to ensure you maintain a broadband connection. We've found that customers get a better price deal if they keep their broadband & phone separate as bundles often include features you don't need at a higher cost. You can see for yourself with our digital voice price comparison.

Phonely's adapters and handsets make it simple in that you can just plug in and start making calls with your digital voice landline. No complicated instructions, no new things to learn and most importantly, no expensive monthly bills.
