Business phone systems for the WN postcode area
WN covers Wigan and the surrounding parts of Greater Manchester, on the 01942 and 01695 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 WN postcode area covers
The WN postcode area is named after Wigan and stretches across Greater Manchester. Towns inside it include:
- Wigan
- Leigh
- Skelmersdale
- Ashton-in-Makerfield
Phone numbers here normally start 01942 and 01695. Because our lines are cloud based, the postcode of your premises doesn't limit which number you can use — you can keep a 01942 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 WN 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 Wigan business off old lines
Most businesses in WN 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.
