Choose a standard UK business number or ask us to assess an existing number for transfer. The planned number service will route incoming calls to a compatible SIP endpoint or an agreed destination. Hosted users and outgoing calls are priced separately. Any onward telephone forwarding will incur usage charges.
Our planned SIP trunk service is intended for businesses that already operate a compatible PBX. We will quote for the numbers, simultaneous-call capacity, traffic and configuration your system needs.
We are considering an SMS service for notifications, alerts and customer updates. The proposed rate is 9p per message part to standard UK mainland mobile destinations. Longer messages and some characters can require multiple chargeable parts. International, offshore and specialist destinations are outside this proposed offer. Availability, sender requirements and the final rate schedule will be confirmed before launch.
Business numbers, SIP trunks and SMS are coming soon. Prices and features are provisional. Orders, number transfers and deposits are not being accepted for these services, and launch dates are not confirmed.
Discuss a planned service with Lodestar. We are taking enquiries, with no orders or deposits at this stage.
