Business phone systems for the DH postcode area
DH covers Durham and the surrounding parts of County Durham, on the 0191 and 01207 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 DH postcode area covers
The DH postcode area is named after Durham and stretches across County Durham. Towns inside it include:
- Durham
- Chester-le-Street
- Consett
- Houghton-le-Spring
Phone numbers here normally start 0191 and 01207. Because our lines are cloud based, the postcode of your premises doesn't limit which number you can use — you can keep a 0191 number if you move office within County Durham, 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 DH 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 Durham business off old lines
Most businesses in DH 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.
