What each type means for the caller

One national number for a business with several sites, routed to the nearest or chosen office. 10 digits after +44.
Personal number: 070
A follow-me number that forwards to whatever phone its owner chooses, so the digits don't reveal the line behind it. 10 digits after +44.
VoIP: 056
Numbers issued for internet telephony services rather than a fixed line or a mobile network. 10 digits after +44.

Writing and dialling a Guernsey toll-free number

Inside Guernsey, dial the number with its leading 0. From abroad or in E.164, drop the 0 and put +44 in front. Many freephone numbers still only accept calls from inside Guernsey, and a call from abroad that does connect is usually charged.

Toll-free and premium numbers in a phone list

In a lead or customer list, a toll-free number usually reaches a company line rather than a person, and a premium-rate number costs you money to call. The free toll-free number checker flags them in a pasted list or CSV, and the Guernsey phone number format page covers mobiles and landlines.

The numbering plan only knows what a range was issued for.

In the US and Canada mobiles and landlines share the same prefixes, and anywhere a number can be ported or reassigned the range stops telling the whole story. A live carrier lookup asks the network data instead, which is what Pro + Phone ($49.99/mo) adds.

  • Carrier name for every number looked up
  • Upload a CSV up to 100,000 rows; emails in the same file get a mailbox check
