Business phone systems for the BL postcode area
BL covers Bolton and the surrounding parts of Greater Manchester, on the 01204 and 0161 dialling codes. We set up cloud phone systems and local numbers for businesses right across the area, from £19 per user a month.
Where the BL postcode area covers
The BL postcode area is named after Bolton and stretches across Greater Manchester. Towns inside it include:
- Bolton
- Bury
- Radcliffe
- Westhoughton
Phone numbers here normally start 01204 and 0161. Because our lines are cloud based, the postcode of your premises doesn't limit which number you can use — you can keep a 01204 number if you move office within Greater Manchester, or add a second number for another town entirely.
Postcode boundaries and dialling code boundaries don't line up exactly, so a few addresses at the edge of BL sit on a neighbouring code. If you're not sure which applies to you, tell us your address and we'll check before you order.

Switching
Moving a Bolton business off old lines
Most businesses in BL are still on copper PSTN lines or an ISDN system that has to be replaced before the network is retired. Swapping to a cloud system removes line rental, keeps your existing number and gives you call routing, voicemail-to-email and a mobile app on the same plan.
Porting your number takes around 5 to 10 working days. Your old line keeps running until the port completes; on cutover day there is a short window where calls may not connect, so we agree a time with you and recommend pointing a mobile at the business in the meantime.
