What does SwitchboardFREE cost?
If you are a UK business routing your 084 SwitchboardFREE number to a UK landline, your core service can be free. That means no setup fee, no monthly fee for the base service and no annual rental on the core package.
For businesses comparing business phone system costs, this gives a clear route to launch quickly and only pay when you add optional extras like premium upgrades, additional numbers or higher-volume call handling options.
