To receive calls from the standard telephone network you do require a new number. However your current landline number will still work in the same way as before. Instead of replacing your existing line, VoiceHost in effect supply a virtual line, so both voip and standard calls can be made simultaniously.

There are a few options for telephone numbers, by default you will be assigned a national number, which is not region specific. However if you require a local geographic number this is also possible.

If you wish to run a virtual office or just have a presence in another location in the UK this is also possible. For example if you run a buisness from outside of London, but wish to have a London telephone number this is easy to setup with VoiceHost.
