In many cases if you make outgoing calls to a U.K. phone number using a U.K. FlyNumber as the caller-ID the rate is significantly cheaper.

The rate is sometimes 10x cheaper so if you call a certain country often, it pays to get a FlyNumber from there.
Anytime you make outgoing calls with FlyNumber (via the PBX) there is a low per minute rate.
You can make outgoing calls using the phone system app or create a SIP account.

Some background on Scotland and its area codes

Scotland's telephone area codes are an integral part of the United Kingdom's numbering plan, governed by Ofcom. Major area codes include 0131 for Edinburgh, 0141 for Glasgow, and 01224 for Aberdeen. These codes facilitate regional call routing and are essential for local and international telecommunications.

The history of Scotland's area codes dates back to the 1950s with the introduction of STD (Subscriber Trunk Dialing). Originally, codes were shorter, but increasing demand necessitated expansions. The Big Number Change in 2000 restructured many codes to accommodate growing telecommunication needs and technological advancements.

Scotland's area codes not only serve functional purposes but also hold cultural significance. They often symbolize local identity and pride. With the advent of VoIP technology, these codes are increasingly used for virtual numbers, allowing businesses and individuals to establish a local presence without physical relocation.
