Replacing a BT business line

Replace your BT business phone line and keep your number.

If your business number is with BT, plan the port before giving notice. We check the details, configure the new 3CX service and coordinate the transfer in the right order.

Moving the service

A replacement should fix the old setup, not simply copy it

The move is a good time to decide who should answer, what happens when they are busy and how calls are handled outside working hours.

Number porting check

We check the number and account details before treating the move as confirmed.

New call flow

Decide how calls should ring instead of copying old limitations into the replacement.

Apps and handsets

Choose mobile apps, desktop calling, compatible desk phones or a mixture.

Opening-hours routing

Set different destinations and messages for evenings and weekends.

Transfer planning

Agree a port date and prepare users before the existing number moves.

Post-move checks

Test inbound and outbound calling once the transfer has completed.

Costs and setup

Separate the new monthly cost from the move itself

New lines cost £12.50 each month + VAT and include 500 UK minutes. Any handsets, porting work or installation are itemised separately.

Porting depends on the existing service and accurate account details. We will check what can be moved before asking you to cancel anything.

Your checklist before replacing a BT business line

Check the existing service as well as the number. A change of phone provider can involve more than a handset.

Identify what is on the bill

Have your latest bill, account details and the numbers you want to keep ready. Confirm which services are being replaced and which you intend to retain.

Check other equipment and broadband

Tell us if the line is also used for broadband, an alarm, a fax or other equipment. Check dependencies with the relevant provider before cancelling or changing the service.

Check notice and any exit costs

Ask your existing provider for the contract end date, notice requirements and any early termination charges. These are separate from the cost of your new Amber service.

Agree the move before cancelling

We check whether the number can be ported and prepare the replacement system. Follow the business number transfer process before changing the old service. Keep it running until the transfer is complete, then confirm which remaining services should be closed.

Talk to Amber

Check your current business line before cancelling it

Tell us the number, current supplier and contract end date if you know it. A recent bill is useful, but you do not need it for the first conversation.

No mailing list. We will only use these details to answer your enquiry.
