Communications Plus

What Communications Plus does

Communications Plus Limited is a UK-based business telecommunications provider founded in 2006 and headquartered in Rainford, St. Helens (Merseyside), with a second regional office in Sunderland operated through its wholly owned subsidiary Cellular Solutions North East (acquired 2021). The company operates as an independent, multi-network reseller offering business mobile contracts, SIM-only deals, IoT/M2M SIMs, and hardware (Apple, Samsung, Google) across O2, Vodafone, EE and Three, alongside a portfolio of cloud-based VoIP platforms (3CX, Microsoft Teams Phone, Cisco Webex Calling, Gamma Horizon, USP) and business connectivity solutions including FTTP Full Fibre, leased lines up to 10Gbps, SoGEA and hybrid fixed-mobile-satellite links.

The underlying stack is composed of third-party carrier and UCaaS platforms resold under partner agreements, with no proprietary network or software assets; differentiation rests on multi-vendor aggregation, partner certifications (3CX Platinum, O2 Business Centre, Cyber Essentials Plus 2026) and a consultative sales motion delivered through a team of approximately 35 account managers and support staff. Pricing is quote-based, published pricing is not disclosed, and contracts typically run 24-36 months, generating largely recurring subscription revenue supplemented by device hardware sales.

Communications Plus serves UK businesses ranging from single-user sole traders and SMBs to multi-site enterprises with thousands of users, addressing mobile workforce connectivity, ISDN/PSTN-to-cloud migration ahead of the 2027 UK switch-off, business-critical broadband, and IoT/M2M connectivity. Go-to-market combines direct sales through named account managers, inside sales via website contact forms and a savings calculator tool, and the O2 Business Centre channel partnership, supported by content marketing, social media (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, X), regional sports sponsorships, and verified Google reviews.
