BEST MOBILE VOIP FOR EXPATS
"Simon from Swytch provided me with fantastic support while I was moving overseas. The process of porting my UK number to the service and keeping access to it was really straightforward thanks to Swytch. I found them the best choice for anyone with a similar requirement; I would fully recommend them."
EXCELLENT SERVICE 5* ALWAYS
"Excellent service. Very fast response time and really helpful too. The service will be a blessing for me as an expat I get to keep my U.K. number without it costing me a fortune.
Thank you"
THE SERVICE HAS BEEN A GODSEND
"The service has been a godsend, as an expat it's brilliant to have my UK mobile attached to the app and then on the local abroad phone. You get all your messages, voicemails and calls as normal, you can make UK calls to the UK via the app and no-one is the wiser. Highly recommended."
It's so cheap, it's unbelievable...

Should I use Wi-Fi or mobile data?
Hmm! Tricky question! But don't you worry, we have an easy answer.
Swytch uses an internet connection to make the calls. Hence, when in the UK, and your primary number is of UK, feel free to use mobile or Wi-Fi. Only remember that making calls with Swytch will use your mobile data if you switch the mobile data on.
When you are out of the UK and your primary number is of UK, then it is advised to use Wi-Fi to avoid roaming charges on your data plan (of the primary number). By using Wi-Fi, you will avoid the roaming charges altogether. When you are out of UK and your primary number is a local (to the country you are in), then feel use mobile or Wi-Fi.
Can I use Swytch while roaming abroad?
Yes, as long as you have an internet connection on your phone. Swytch calls do not incur roaming charges but please make sure that you either use it on WiFi or the data plan of a local number when abroad.
How am I charged while roaming abroad?
When you are abroad, if you have a local SIM number of the country you are in, then you can choose to use the data plan or WiFi.
However, if you don’t have a local SIM number, then it is advised to use Wi-Fi to enable the internet on your device so that you don’t get charged with roaming charges on your SIM’s data plan. Swytch number uses the internet connection on the mobile handset, either through Wi-Fi or a mobile data plan. So, please keep this in mind while using your Swytch mobile number.
Are there any contracts I need to sign and for how long?
That's the good part. There is no contract to be signed. It’s as simple as signing up and you will have a new number to use.
