Restricted fixed cost telephone line only deal for people with Alzheimer’s and Dementia.Specially designed dementia friendly phone deals - 100% guaranteed fixed monthly cost
At Simple Telecoms, we recognise the unique challenges faced by individuals with Dementia and Alzheimer's, along with their caregivers and loved ones. That's why we've created Cloud Guardian, an innovative restricted telephone only service designed specifically for people with Alzheimer’s and Dementia. This service helps reduce their telephone bills by blocking access to expensive numbers, thus preventing excessive and unexpected call charges.
We offer a variety of 100% fixed-price telephone only monthly call plans, with all calls included. This ensures that the monthly line rental fee is the only cost, with no additional charges, guaranteed. Additionally, we are happy to work with a designated contact, providing peace of mind for the line owner and their caregivers.
Cloud Guardian, your safeguard against excessively high bills
For most people with Alzheimer's and dementia, having a telephone is essential, yet many often dial incorrect numbers by mistake. This is particularly problematic when they call expensive numbers such as 118 (directory enquiries), 123 (the speaking clock), and various premium numbers like 0844, 0871, 0870, and 09, which incur high charges. Additionally, repetitive dialing can quickly increase the phone bill. To address this, we offer a service to block calls to emergency services, which is available as an opt-in feature. Our customers frequently report that seniors with dementia often call the police without a real emergency, causing significant issues for emergency services, particularly in care homes where these unnecessary calls lead to repeated visits by emergency responders. Furthermore, our Cloud Guardian service provides protection against phone scams for vulnerable individuals by restricting access to expensive and potentially dangerous numbers. All our phone only call plans include Call Screen Lite, a complimentary nuisance call blocker, to further safeguard our customers.
Using our Cloud Guardian service - You will Always keep your telephone numberOur goal is to provide individuals with Dementia and Alzheimer's with the tools and support they need to stay connected with their loved ones and maintain their independence.
For people with Alzheimer’s and Dementia keeping their telephone number is a must, as most have had the number for many years. We can move 99% of telephone numbers as unlike a copper-based line, your telephone number will be virtual and will no longer be restricted to an exchange by geographical location.
So regardless of if you're moving home, to a different part of the country, or even a different part of the world, you will always be able to take your current phone number with you, just as long as you have access to a Digital exchange or even mobile data. We can also move telephone numbers into our network from other Digital cloud based providers, and we will organise the transfer of your telephone line for you, making the whole move as simple as we can.
Things to consider before making the move to Cloud GuardianIt's the alarm manufacturers responsibility to make sure the equipment is compatible with Digital Lines.
Customers who are vulnerable or are using a Care Alarm or pendant service should contact their service provider, as not all personal/care alarm services are compatible, as many Telecare devices are 20 years old and will need to be upgraded to work on digital voice services. However, our service has been tested using the SureSafe care alarm systems. Please contact our customer service team for more information. But please check before committing to taking a digital voice line, as moving back to a copper-based line may not be possible to do.
Please also note that any copper-based phone extensions will also no longer work. So if your Alarm is plugged into an extension it will no longer work.

Cloud Guardian Installation and transfer informationCan I have an engineer visit me to connect the router, telephone, and battery backup unit for me? All NEW line installations come with a basic Openreach installation. This means the engineer will attend the address and just check the service is live at the master socket, and no more.
On request we can book a Premium line installation which costs £138.00 inc VAT, and will check the following.
✔ Install NTE (telephone socket) within 1m of 13A power socket, and up to 30 meters of internal wiring
✔ Ensure wiring meets Openreach standard
✔ Connect modem/router (provided by us)
✔ Connect up-to 2 devices and conduct a Wi-Fi analysis and move router if needed. (if having broadband)
✔ Add voice reinjection plate and connect router with provided cable (this needs to be pre booked with us if needed)
✔ Demonstrate speed to a responsible adult (householder/proprietor)
Line transfers or conventions that do not require an Openreach engineer visit we can arrange for an BT Openreach engineer to visit you and set up and connect both the router, cordless telephone and/or a pendant alarm system to the backup, and then test the telephone service. This will be an extra cost and must be booked at the time of placing the order with us for the line.
Can I transfer a number from a Virgin line to Cloud Guardian Line? Transferring a Virgin based telephone number to a SoGEA digital line is classed as a new line installation by Openreach, as they cannot use the existing Virgin Infrastructure. A new line will need to be installed, and the Virgin number ported from them to us, which can be very problematic, as it relies on several factors, such as Virgin releasing the number to us on a given day and time, and that there are no hold-ups with the SoGEA installation. Transferring a number from Virgin to SoGEA digital line cost £138.00 including VAT. And will be a premium installation. Can I transfer a number from a TalkTalk line to Cloud Guardian Line? Transferring a MPF based telephone number to a digital cloud line is classed as a new line installation by Openreach. MPF lines are used by TalkTalk, Shell, NowTV, Sky Post Office and several other providers. An MPF line is not directly connected to the main Openreach network. Your current number will be moved back to the main Openreach network, and then converted to a digital line. You will in 99% of cases retain your telephone number - £138.00 inc VAT. An engineer visit is needed. The timeline for the completed changeover is around 25 working days. But you will not lose your service during this time. How long will it take to install a new line or transfer an existing line? Switching your current telephone service, or installing a new digital line usually takes about 10/15 working days, depending on the service you have selected. However, If the room/flat or address is not listed at the address this may need to be done before an installation can be booked. This is because Openreach will only install into the full listed address as found on the Royal Mail database. Installing into Care Homes can also be extremely hard to do as well. But we will alway do our best to try to get the line installed. What is a Voice Reinjection Plate? In Openreach terminology, Voice Reinjection is the way to route voice signals from a VoIP/Cloud service (Router) onto the existing home telephone wiring (other phone sockets). This will become more common as copper pairs are replaced by optical fibre. Using a Voice Reinjection plate will allow continued use of extension wiring However, we strongly recommend using a BT 4600 cordless phone kit as reusing these sockets and wiring may give you problems in the future and they may even be incorrectly connected to start with. As Openreach are only responsible up to the back of the main telephone socket. So, if you do have a problem with an extension this could be costly to fix. It's also costly to have the Voice Reinjection installed. In the event of a power cut, can I power the telephone router independently and still have a service? Providing the criteria set out by OFCOM has met we will provide a Battery Backup for your telephone router which runs the telephone service, this will be provided on loan. This will keep the telephone router powered for about 1 hour in a power cut, which is OFCOM's recommended length of time. This will not however provide power to other devices like cordless phones or care alarms, meaning customers will need to provide their own Battery Backup arrangements for these devices. If you would like help with this, just give us a call on 0330 122 0000.

Can I keep my telephone number Yes, we can move 99% of telephone numbers - Most people have had their telephone number for years, and for a lot of seniors and pensioners keeping their telephone number is a must. Unlike most providers, we run our own voice telephone network and platforms (Similar to TalkTalk and Virgin), and have telecom switches based in Bournemouth and London So regardless of if you're moving home, to a different part of the country, or even a different part of the world, we have the technology so you will always be able to take your current phone number with you.

You can add a full broadband service to the line at any point, and just like our telephone lines, the service is on a 30-day rolling contract as well. However there is an activation cost to add a full broadband service to Digital phone only service, and the cost applies to downgrade a service from a full broadband service to just a phone service. The broadband service is switched on remotely. If you would like more information, please contact our sales team on 0330 122 0000. *Cost is depending on the current service and availability at the exchange.

If your local exchange is an FTTP only exchange, we will give you a cost for this service instead. You can remove the full broadband service on the call plan at any time. However, there is a “Change of Service” cost to do this, and likewise to re add it to the call plan. Fibre Broadband service - FTTC 40/10 - Up to 38Mbps download - Up to 9.5Mbps upload. cost for faster speeds available on request. Please contact us on 0330 122 0000 for more information. What do I do if I have a fault with the service? (Please take time to read) Our digital voice service platforms have a 99% uptime. But the first thing we recommend to do if you think you have a fault is to reboot the router, as they can lock up from time to time (Never do a Factory reset on the router unless we ask you to do so). We can also run test calls through your account to check the service is fully online and routing calls correctly and check the underline broadband service is online for the telephone line to work.
Simple Telecoms customers only - First and foremost, If you have a chronic long-term illness or disability, we would strongly recommend moving to a higher fault repair level if you need a faster response time. It is the end user’s responsibility to make sure they have an adequate care level in place that will offer coverage for faults outside normal working hours and public holidays, should they feel this is needed. Regardless of the fault level on the line a priority fault application cannot be made outside working hours, weekends, or public holidays. Care Level is the term Openreach uses to define their expected response times in the event you report a fault on your Telephone line and or broadband (which is the underlined service for your telephone services). A response does not always mean that the fault will be fixed. For example, if there is a storm and a pole or line is physically damaged the fault may take longer to rectify. The response is just an initial assessment of the problem by the Openreach engineer and, where possible, their estimate of when it will be sorted. Obviously, if it can be fixed at this initial assessment, it will be. A change of Broadband Care Level takes 5 working days to complete.

All prices are on top of any monthly rental charges. Whats the difference between Cloud Phone Saver and the Cloud Guardian service? The main difference between a Cloud Saver service and Cloud Guardian is with the Cloud Saver you have the option to call other numbers from a prepaid credit should you wish to do so. The Cloud Guardian is a totally fixed service, you can’t call anything other than what’s in the call plan. However, you can move from a Cloud Guardian service to the Cloud Phone Saver service, but there is an admin cost to do so. Will my telephone extensions still work with a digital line? Yes, and no, when a line is converted to a digital line all extensions will stop working, as these are copper based lines. However, depending on your booked installation with us Openreach can fit a Voice Reinjection plate. In Openreach terminology, Voice Reinjection is the way to route voice signals from a VoIP/Cloud service (Router) onto the existing home telephone wiring (other phone sockets), providing these extensions have been installed by Openreach and not a third party. This will become more common as copper pairs are replaced by optical fibre. Using a Voice Reinjection plate will allow continued use of extension wiring. However, we strongly recommend using a BT 4600 cordless phone kit as reusing these extension sockets and wiring may give you problems in the future. Openreach are only responsible for faults up to the back of the main telephone socket. So, if you do have a problem with an extension this could be costly to fix. Can I use my existing phone, or do I need a new one? Any standard telephone will work with the new digital lines, even ones with built in call blockers. So, there is no need to get a special phone. Can I call Emergency Service (999, 112)? The 999 service can be accessed from within England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. If you use the service outside England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland you will not be able to call emergency services in another country where you may be located. Calls to 999 emergency services do not have a call timeout. Are calls to 0800 and 0808 freephone numbers barred? No, Freephone numbers starting 0800 and 0808 are included in all call plans for 120 continuous minutes before being disconnected. However, 0800 numbers must not be used for call breakout services. Calls made using a freephone number to make calls over another providers’ network, listening to online audio/radio services or conferencing platforms are against our Terms and Conditions and could result in your account being Can I have the service on a Cooper Line? Unfortunately, no. This service is only available on the new digital voice services. Automatic Premium, 08 and International call barring Call barring for NGN 08, International† and Premium rate numbers starting 09 and 08 numbers will be applied automatically to the telephone line and this barring cannot be removed. Customers with personal alarms should check with their equipment or Care Alarm provider which number the Care Alarm calls when triggered, as we bar calls to 08 NGN numbers, and some providers use 08 numbers to generate money for themselves. *** If you are on Cloud Guardian 3, then all international numbers will be barred other than the listed destinations included in the call plan. Automatic barring of Directory Enquiry (118) numbers and The Talking Clock For most people with Alzheimer's and Dementia having a telephone is a lifeline, however many often call wrong numbers by mistake. Especially problematic are calls to expensive numbers like 118 (directory enquiries), 123 (the speaking clock) which often carry high call charges. As well has repeat dialling habits which can push the phone bill up very fast. So, these numbers are automatically barred from being called. This barring cannot be removed. Will other services like 1471 and 1571 work? Yes, the 1571 service is included free. This is a voicemail service asking the caller to leave a message in the event of no answer, your line is busy or you're offline. You can record your own personal greeting, and messages are held for 30 days before being deleted. This can be switched off if needed. 1471 is also included free and tells you the last number that called you - unless the caller withheld their number by dialling 141 before dialling your number, or the call came from a switchboard extension number. Please note - There is no 1471 Call Return service at this moment in time. How is my first bill is calculated, and when do you bill? We bill per calendar month, meaning from the first to the last day of the month. Statements are sent via email on the 8th of each month, with the direct debit taken on or around the 16th of the month. If this is your first invoice it will show a charge for the whole month in which the invoice is issued and for the whole of the following calendar month. (2 whole months.) This advance payment means you'll have covered your 30-day notice period for cancellation, allowing us to terminate your line for you the same day you notify us should it become necessary. If you've signed up to our service part way through a month, your first bill will also include a charge from the date the new service went live to the end of the part month. Please remember to tell the bill payer that the name of our Direct Debit will show on their bank statement as “Simple”. You will also receive an email giving you access to our online billing system as well. However, as there are no chargeable calls that can be made through the account, the bill will only show the line rental for the call plan you are connected to. We do not list any calls made. Can you send a paper bill each month? Yes, the cost for a paper bill is £1.85 per month including VAT. However, as there are no chargeable calls that can be made through the account, the bill will only show the line rental for the call plan you are connected to. We do not list any calls made as these are all included in the call plan. However on a one off basis we can provide call history taken directly from our network. The cost for this would be £29.99 per request. Can I move my telephone number to a different provider? Yes, but the gaining provider will be responsible for this process. Customers that have ported their telephone number out of the Simple Telecoms network to another provider will not be eligible for a free of charge port back to the Simple Telecoms network until a term of 36 months has passed from the original port out date, irrespective of any current or future offers being advertised in the press or Simple Telecoms websites. Should you wish to return to us within 36 months of leaving, there would be a cost to do so. In the event of a power cut, can I power the router independently and still have service? If there’s a power cut or your broadband fails, you’ll be unable to make any calls using Digital Voice, including 999 calls. You’ll still be able to use a mobile phone, just make sure you keep it charged at all times. Customers who need extra support may be offered a battery backup unit to make sure you can still make calls.This is in line with Ofcom's regulations on battery backups. The unit will keep your router connected for a short time if there is a power cut. However, this will not provide power to other devices like your handset or care alarm. This means customers will need to provide their own Battery Backup arrangements for these devices. Having a big battery backup solution will NOT completely resolve the power problem, as the batteries in the cabinet in the street will only run for 4/6 hours anyway before they will shut down. We strongly recommend a mobile phone as a backup as well. If you would like help with this, please call us on 0330 122 0000 Monday to Friday 9AM to 5PM
All new orders are covered by a statutory 14-day cooling-off period beginning on the date you agree to our services. In some cases, we can expedite your installation or activation. However, if your service is activated within these 14 days, you waive your right to cancel. If an ongoing order is cancelled, no additional orders will be accepted for the same name, address, or telephone number for 36 months from the cancellation date. Credit Limit and Credit Check When you apply for any telephone or Broadband service contract with us we will perform a hard credit check on the user and the address the service is being provided at. We may also credit check the bill payer if different to the user. This will involve a credit reference agency to confirm your identity/s. They'll also examine your financial records and borrowing history. Using this information provided by the credit-rating agency, which in our case is Creditsafe. We will then make a decision whether to accept you for the contract/service you’ve applied for. This decision is made solely by our credit-checking team based on the information from Creditsafe. A credit check is ONLY performed once a direct Debit has been set up with us, as this is regarded as an acceptance of our terms and conditions, and intent to apply for a service. If your credit rating prevents you from getting a contract from us we may offer a tailored solution for people with bad credit. If your application is accepted a credit limit will be placed on the account for any chargeable calls. This safeguards our customers from running up a large bill. If this credit limit is reached outbound calls will be barred other than 999 freephone and the NHS helplines. However, if you have a Care Alarm this may cease to operate if your credit limit is breached. Call spend Warnings can be set up within our online billing system, and we strongly recommend this is done. Please note. Any credit check performed be it on the end user and or the bill payer will show on your/their credit history.
