Keep your personal number private: Rinkel gives UK business owners a professional number in under five minutes

Many UK sole traders and small business owners use a single mobile number for both work and personal life. Rinkel wants to change that — without a second handset, a new SIM, or a lengthy contract.

ROTTERDAM, Netherlands, July 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — When you run your own business, your mobile number ends up everywhere: on invoices, websites, business cards and quotes. It’s convenient at first. But it also means clients can reach you at any hour, work and personal calls blur into one, and switching off after hours becomes almost impossible.

“The same thing comes up again and again from UK business owners: they want to keep their personal number private,” says Jeroen van Vierzen, CEO at Rinkel. “They want to look professional and stay reachable, without handing their personal mobile to every customer they meet.”

Rinkel gives business owners a second, professional number that works on the phone they already own. Personal calls stay on the personal number; business calls come in on the business one. One phone, two numbers — and a clear line between work and life.

Set up in minutes, not days

Getting started takes under five minutes. There’s no engineer visit, no hardware to install and no technical knowledge required. Business owners choose a local or national number, download the app, and start making and taking calls straight away — on the device already in their pocket.

From there, they can set business hours, record a professional voicemail and forward calls to colleagues, so they never miss a call that matters and can genuinely switch off when the day is done.

Trusted by businesses across Europe

Rinkel is used by more than 15,000 customers across seven countries and is rated as Excellent on Trustpilot. The service is designed to be easy to use and reliable, with calls running on the existing mobile network rather than depending on a WiFi connection.

There’s no commitment: plans can be cancelled at any time, no hardware is needed, and business owners who aren’t happy within 30 days get their money back.

Plans start from £7.19 per user per month, with the first number included.

About Rinkel

Rinkel is a business phone service that gives entrepreneurs, freelancers and small businesses a professional number on the mobile they already use. Founded to make business calls simple, Rinkel helps business owners keep work and personal life separate, stay reachable wherever they are, and set everything up themselves in minutes — no hardware, no hassle, no lengthy contracts. Rinkel serves more than 15,000 customers across seven countries.

July 31, 2026

DUBAI, UAE, July 31, 2026 /CNW/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, is pleased to announce new upgrades to Bybit Dual Asset, introducing a newly added simulator, a simplified interface and expanded access to VIP-tier products for all users.

Bybit Dual Asset is a short-term, non-principal-protected structured investment product with built-in yield. It allows users to set a target price to buy or sell crypto at a preferred rate. Regardless of whether the target price is reached at settlement, participating users earn APR rewards on their principal, combining price flexibility with a competitive yield for Bybit traders.

Dual Asset, Multiple Benefits

The upgrade introduces an ultra user-friendly simulator, allowing users to preview potential outcomes before placing an order. Within the simulator, users can select a preferred token from a searchable list, enter a custom investment amount, choose from available durations and view both settlement scenarios side by side in a single, clear illustration. A “Match My Assets” filter also surfaces coins based on a user’s current holdings, streamlining product selection. To access the simulator, traders can switch on “Beginner Mode” by navigating to “Choose Product Plan”.

In addition, the Dual Asset interface has been redesigned for a simpler, more intuitive experience, reducing the steps required to compare terms and place an order.

As part of the upgrade, VIP-exclusive Dual Asset products with enhanced APR rates will be unlocked for all Bybit users every Friday, during which weekly window no VIP membership is required. This further broadens access to enhanced-rate products that were previously reserved for top-tier accounts.

The new and improved Bybit Dual Asset retains all the most loved features about the product while introducing exclusive benefits:

Competitive yield: when the target trade is executed, users settle at the preset price while also earning additional APR rewards.Better pricing: compared with direct trading, users can buy at a lower price or sell at a higher price once the target price is reached.Inclusive access: VIP-tier products with enhanced rates now are available to all users every Friday, extending VIP benefits to the broader Bybit community.
