How free telecom services are supporting social housing providers

In this article, Core Telecom looks at how their free telecom services can transform tenant engagement and unlock vital savings for social housing providers across the UK

The UK’s housing crisis continues to deepen, and at its core lies a growing funding gap that is severely impacting the delivery of social housing.

Rising costs, reduced budgets, and increasing demand are putting pressure on providers to do more with less — all while trying to build, maintain, and manage homes for those in need.

At Core Telecom, we believe essential services should not be held back by operational costs.

That is why we have introduced a dedicated initiative to support social housing providers with completely free 03 number meaning no incoming call charges and rental costs

Telecoms play a vital role in tenant engagement and service delivery. But they should not come at the expense of frontline work. Our offer includes:

• Free hosting of any 03 contact number
• No line rental fees
• No incoming call charges
• No setup or hidden costs

We host your existing 03 number on our secure network, at zero cost to your organisation.

Proven results across the sector

More than 25 housing providers are already benefiting from this service, with many saving £10000’s of pounds every year.

These reclaimed funds are being reinvested into core priorities such as property maintenance, resident support, and affordable housing development.

Boosting resident engagement with SMS

To further support the sector, we also offer heavily discounted SMS messaging. From appointment reminders to urgent updates, SMS is a powerful way to keep residents informed and engaged, at a fraction of the usual cost.

Partnering with purpose

Core Telecom is more than a service provider. We are a committed partner to the social housing sector, helping organisations unlock vital savings and deliver stronger outcomes for their communities.
