London, UK: Swytch, the UK-based start-up providing multiple mobile numbers on an existing mobile phone, today announces that people in 130 countries around the world now have UK mobile numbers thanks to the Swytch app.

Swytch numbers are available from any connected device, anywhere in the world. {{Expats in are using Swytch’s UK mobile numbers to communicate with family and friends at home with no international call charges or roaming fees}}.

Calling the UK from abroad can cost more than £1.50 per minute when using expensive roaming and international call plans. Swytch charges a standard rate of less than 6p/m to call back to the UK – regardless of where in the world you are – and Swytch to Swytch calls are always completely free.

There is no need to change phone, SIM or network operator if you need an UK mobile number while living abroad. The Swytch app lets users have multiple mobile numbers on their existing mobile phone, all of which can be used for both incoming and outgoing calls.

Chris Michael, CEO and Co-Founder of Swytch, comments: “Swytch is all about giving users power, control and visibility over their communications, both incoming and outgoing, regardless of location.”

Michael continues: “The demand for UK mobile numbers around the world is huge but with advances in Voice over IP (VoIP) technology people are rejecting expensive international call charges. The Swytch app has been downloaded in 130 countries and has paying subscribers using UK mobile numbers to communicate with friends and family back home in places as diverse as Australia, US, Canada, India, Brazil and South Africa.”

Adding a new number on Swytch is easy and quick. The Swytch app is free on iOS and Android and within 30 seconds users have access to additional mobile numbers.
