aql® is a regulated telecommunications operator, licensed by Ofcom and adherent to the Otelo framework. Because we're also an award winning IP telephony provider, we also adhere to the ITSPA Code of Conduct and PhonePayPlus regulations.
Getting a phone number from aql® is simple. With over 12 million numbers to choose from, we believe in choice - lots of choice.
What aql® numbers are ideal for :
- Call centres - Choose large blocks of numbers quickly and simply using our APIs
- Sole traders - Choose a number and forward to your mobile. If you work from both the office and away from the desk, you can enable call forwarding as needed for the cost of a normal aql® call.
- National operations - Get a local number in every major town and city, and relay them all to the same handset using our free VoIP call forwarding system
- Home Workers - aql® can point your number direct to your IP handset or soft-phone, regardless of the area code or your geographic location.
- Converged Services - all aql® national numbers can also send and receive SMS text messages and most mobile networks include messaging to landline numbers as part of their bundles. Please contact your network operator for more information. Any messages you send out can appear to come from your national number, allowing your customers to easily dial or text you back.
Calls between aql® numbers are completely free, allowing for workers in different offices to collaborate and transfer calls without the costs of forwarding to another number. Simply top up your call credit whenever you're running low to make outbound calls, and you're able to dial straight away - there's no waiting for your call credit to go live.
