International phone numbers

Rinkel currently arranges international numbers in the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Spain, Sweden, Germany, Ireland, Poland.

Calling your Rinkel number from abroad works exactly as it does from the UK, with one difference: the caller uses the UK country code. Instead of 0330 123 4567, they dial +44 330 123 4567 — the leading 0 drops, and +44 goes in front. You receive the call in your app or via forwarding, just like any other call.

Yes, your Rinkel number works anywhere in the world as long as you have internet or mobile signal. You call out with your own Rinkel number, and your customer simply sees your business number — not a local number from wherever you are. In the UK and to 50+ supported countries, your usual rate applies, with no roaming surcharge.

Calling more than 50 countries with Rinkel costs the same as calling within the UK: £0.05 per minute on Essential, and unlimited on Professional and Expert (Fair Use). No per-country surcharge, no roaming fees. 

You use the country code of the country you're calling, and drop the leading 0 of the local number. For Germany that's +49, for France +33, for Belgium +32. It's best to save the country code directly in your contacts — then you don't have to think about it when you call.

To request an international number, most countries ask for proof that you're doing business there. Usually a home or work address is enough, sometimes with a trade register entry. The Rinkel support team tells you exactly what your country needs.
