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.

3iQ secures a dedicated mandate to manage a portion of Gelephu Mindfulness City’s (GMC) Bitcoin reserves.3iQ and GMC will collaborate closely to support the vision of building a next-generation institutional-grade digital asset management ecosystem focused on innovation and sustainability.

TORONTO and GELEPHU, Bhutan, July 30, 2026 /CNW/ — 3iQ Corp. (“3iQ”), a global pioneer in digital asset investment solutions, and Gelephu Mindfulness City, a Special Administrative Region in southern Bhutan, today announced a strategic partnership to advance GMC’s building of a leading digital asset fund ecosystem. As part of the partnership, 3iQ will manage a dedicated mandate backed by a portion of GMC’s bitcoin treasury, while also investing in local talent and knowledge transfer, and establishing a long-term presence in the city to help build GMC into Bhutan’s new digital offshore financial hub.

As GMC continues to build out its digital asset ecosystem, its decision to work with 3iQ reflects its approach of pairing its national plan and capital with trusted, proven and institutional-grade expertise.

In December 2025, it was announced that up to 10,000 Bitcoin would be allocated from Bhutan’s national holding to support the city’s development. This partnership represents the next step in achieving its objective through the strategic deployment of a portion of those reserves.

GMC selected 3iQ as its partner for the firm’s reputation for institutional robustness and track record in digital asset management. 

“To be entrusted by GMC in this capacity is a significant responsibility, and one we take seriously,” said Pascal St-Jean, Director & CEO of 3iQ. “GMC’s ambition for Gelephu is bold and forward-thinking, and we’re proud to bring our institutional discipline and global track record to help realize it, putting Bhutan’s capital to work responsibly, transparently and for the long term. From the very inception we were aligned with GMC’s vision to create a next-generation economic hub that attracts global talent while being committed to Bhutan’s cultural values and environmental principles.”

“This partnership marks an important first step in building GMC’s next-generation institutional digital asset management hub,” said Jigdrel Singay, Board Director of Gelephu Mindfulness City. “We are delighted to welcome 3iQ as one of our founding institutional partners, helping to lay the foundations for a world-class fund ecosystem in GMC. Beyond their institutional expertise and global track record in digital asset management, what stood out to us was their genuine commitment to investing in people, transferring knowledge and building local capabilities. We see this as the start of a broader ecosystem that will attract leading asset managers, investment firms and talent from around the world.” 

Today’s announcement is the first of several milestones GMC and 3iQ plan to share over the coming months, as the two organizations build toward GMC’s goal of establishing Gelephu as a leading digital offshore financial center.
