Best Way to Keep Your Landline When Switching to Toob Broadband

Why You Might Lose Your Landline When Switching to Toob

Toob’s packages are broadband-only by design. There’s no landline option, no call plans, and no phone socket on the router. That might be fine for some—but for many households, the home phone is still important.

Maybe it’s:

• A number you’ve had for 20+ years
• The best way for elderly relatives to reach you
• Connected to alarms, intercoms, or gate systems
• Or simply a backup in case mobile signal drops out

Whatever the reason, if you don’t make plans to keep your number before switching to Toob, it could be lost permanently.

What Are Your Options?

Once you switch to Toob, you typically face two choices:

1. Let the landline go
2. Port your number to a VoIP provider like Plexatalk and keep your landline when switching to Toob.

If keeping your landline number matters to you—option two is the way forward.

Why Choose Plexatalk When Switching to Toob?

At Plexatalk, we help people keep their landline number, even when their broadband provider doesn’t offer phone services. We specialize in VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol)—a future-proof phone system that uses your internet connection instead of old copper lines.

With Plexatalk, you can:

• Port your number from BT, Sky, TalkTalk, or Virgin
• Forward calls to your mobile if you don’t want a physical phone
• Use a VoIP adapter to keep your current landline handsets
• Upgrade to modern VoIP desk phones for crystal-clear calls

All you need is your new Toob internet connection—we take care of the rest.

How VoIP Works with Toob

Toob gives you a reliable, high-speed full fibre connection. Plexatalk turns that connection into a home phone service using VoIP technology.

Here’s how:

1. We port your number from your old provider
2. Your calls route over the internet using your Toob broadband
3. You can use:
   • A VoIP adapter (ATA) to plug in existing phones
   • A VoIP phone that connects to your router or Wi-Fi
   • Or just forward calls to your mobile

Keep Your Existing Phones with a VoIP Adapter

Love your current cordless phones? Don’t want to learn something new? No problem.

Plexatalk can supply you with a VoIP adapter (also called an ATA) that connects to your Toob router and lets you keep using your existing phones—just like before.

✅ No new tech to learn
✅ No need to buy new handsets
✅ Works just like your old landline

Setup is simple:

• Plug the adapter into your Toob router
• Plug your phone into the adapter
• That’s it—you’re live with Plexatalk VoIP

Prefer a Modern VoIP Phone?

If you’re ready for an upgrade, we also offer dedicated VoIP phones with:

• Exceptional HD call quality
• Features like voicemail, call blocking, caller ID, and call recording
• Wired or wireless options—no PC required

These are perfect for:

• Home offices
• Small businesses
• Households with high call volume
• Anyone wanting a professional phone setup

Or Just Forward to Mobile

If you rarely use a landline phone anymore, we can simply forward all calls to your mobile. That way, you keep your number, avoid new hardware, and stay reachable.

Ideal if:

• You’re always on the move
• You want a backup contact method
• You don’t want a physical landline at all

You can even set up conditional call forwarding, like “ring mobile if unanswered in 10 seconds.”
