Business phone system in Coleraine
Coleraine businesses use the 028 area code, usually with a 70 prefix. A cloud phone system gives you that local Coleraine number and lets your team answer it anywhere on the Causeway Coast or beyond, on a mobile app, a desk phone or a web browser, with nothing to install and no copper line to lose at the 2027 switch-off.

Doing business in Coleraine
Coleraine sits where the River Bann meets the north coast, and it has long been the commercial hub for the wider Causeway Coast. The town centre is the place people travel in to for shopping, professional services and a night out, while the Ulster University campus brings thousands of students and one of the area's biggest pools of employers and graduates right onto the doorstep. Agri-food, retail and hospitality run deep here, and between term-time trade and a steady stream of visitors heading for the coast, there is rarely a quiet week on the phones.
Tourism is the wildcard that shapes how local firms work. Portrush and Portstewart are minutes away, the Giant's Causeway is a short hop along the coast, and in summer the whole area fills up with people booking rooms, tables, tours and tee times. That means call volumes swing hard with the seasons, and a holiday let, a restaurant or a coach operator simply cannot afford to let a booking enquiry ring out. A cloud phone system puts one recognisable Coleraine number in front of customers and quietly routes each call to whoever is free, whether they are behind the desk, out on the coast or working from home off-season.
Why Coleraine firms choose a cloud phone system
Built for seasonal call peaks
When the Causeway Coast fills up in summer, calls to your Coleraine number can ring the office, seasonal staff and mobiles at once, so a booking enquiry is answered even when the place is heaving.
A trusted local identity
A recognised 028 number tells Coleraine and Causeway Coast customers you are established and reachable, which lifts answer rates over an unknown mobile or a distant non-geographic number.
Ready for the 2027 switch-off
The old copper network retires on 31 January 2027. A cloud system already runs over the internet, so multi-site retailers along the coast switch on their own terms and keep their number. See the switch-off guide.
Your Coleraine 028 number, answered anywhere
You can get a brand new 028 number for your Coleraine business in minutes, or keep your existing 028 number by porting it across. Either way the number stops being tied to a socket on a wall and starts following your team.
- Free number porting, so customers keep dialling the Coleraine number they already know.
- One number rings a desk phone, the mobile app and a web browser together.
- Route calls by team or time of day, with voicemail to email and an optional AI receptionist for overflow.
- Per user per month from £6.95, UK calls included, no hardware to buy.

Frequently asked questions
Is 028 the area code for Coleraine?
Yes. Coleraine numbers use the 028 code, usually with a 70 local prefix, so a Coleraine landline is written 028 70XX XXXX. The same 028 code actually covers the whole of Northern Ireland, so an 028 number reads as local to customers right across the region, not just in Coleraine.
Can I get a Coleraine 028 number if my office is elsewhere?
Yes. With a cloud phone system you can pick a Coleraine 028 number wherever you are based and answer it on a mobile app, a desk phone or a web browser. It gives you a recognisable Coleraine and Causeway Coast presence without a physical office in the town.
Can I keep our existing Coleraine number?
Yes. You can move your existing 028 number to Voxora through number porting and keep it exactly as it is. Porting is normally free, the number does not change, and your calls simply start ringing on the new system once the transfer completes.
How much does a Coleraine business phone system cost?
Voxora is priced per user per month, from £6.95 per user on Standard and £9.95 per user on Pro, both excluding VAT, with UK calls included. The local 028 area code does not change the price, and there is no hardware to buy.
What happens to our Coleraine phone line at the 2027 switch-off?
Traditional copper phone lines are being retired across the UK on 31 January 2027. A cloud phone system already runs over the internet, so it is unaffected. Moving now lets a Coleraine business switch on its own timetable and keep its 028 number throughout.
