Secure a professional 0161 Manchester business landline from £9.99/month. Divert calls to your mobile, route to your team, or let our 24/7 AI receptionist – tuned to Mancunian accents – answer first. Ideal for tech, trades, agencies and professional services across Greater Manchester.
0161 is the primary Manchester and Greater Manchester area code. A 0161 business landline instantly signals “local” to residents and businesses – whether you’re in the city centre, MediaCity, Trafford Park or working fully remote elsewhere in the UK.
Manchester customers and businesses trust 0161 numbers. Whether you’re serving central Manchester, Salford Quays, Stockport or Bolton, a Manchester landline shows you’re rooted in the region – not just a distant call centre.
People across Greater Manchester are far more likely to answer a familiar 0161 landline than an unknown mobile, withheld ID or 08/03 number. Use your 0161 number for inbound enquiries and outbound follow‑ups to boost connection rates.
Our optional AI receptionist is trained to understand Manchester & Greater Manchester accents as well as common local place names. It answers, qualifies and routes calls like a full‑time receptionist – without the full‑time cost.
Your 0161 business landline is recognised as local across Manchester city centre and the wider Greater Manchester boroughs – from Salford and Stockport to Bolton, Wigan and Trafford.

Real feedback from teams using Team‑Connect 0161 business landlines to handle calls from the city centre to Salford, Stockport, Bolton and beyond.
Marketing Agency
“We swapped our old on‑premise phone system for a 0161 number with Team‑Connect. Clients still call a Manchester landline, but routing is smarter and the AI receptionist picks up when the team is in meetings. It feels modern without losing the local feel.”
IT & Managed Services
“The 0161 number is on every proposal and support email. Calls route to whoever is on duty, and we can see exactly which campaigns are driving enquiries. Setup took less than an afternoon.”
Healthcare & Clinics
“Time‑based routing has been a lifesaver. Daytime calls go to reception, evenings go to the AI receptionist with clear instructions. Patients like that they’re always calling a familiar 0161 number.”
Home Services & Trades
“We use separate 0161 numbers for quotes, after‑sales and renewals. Being able to track which calls lead to which jobs has made our marketing much more efficient.”
Legal & Professional Services
“Clients expect a Manchester landline. The 0161 number plus call recording and analytics helps with training, compliance and making sure no important call gets missed.”

Yes. You can start with simple call divert only, then enable the AI receptionist later if you want help answering and qualifying calls. Many Greater Manchester businesses begin with basic routing, then add AI once calls increase or staff get busier.
