NumberForLife gives individuals and families a simple, secure virtual phone number that stays with you for life — no matter which device or location you're using.

It was founded by a parent of a child with autism to meet the real-world communication needs of neurodivergent families and those who support them.

NumberForLife is built with simplicity and safety in mind. Calls can be made on any device and settings can be changed by a parent or carer with just a few clicks.

This service provides:

• A private, memorable phone number not tied to a mobile or landline.
