Southend is a seaside town that also functions as a commercial centre for south Essex, and the two sides pull differently. The seafront, the pier and the hospitality trade behind them swing hard with the season; inland there is a substantial financial services and business process presence, an airport with the freight and travel businesses around it, and a town centre serving a large population. It became a city recently, and the commercial stock ranges from Victorian seafront property to modern business park space.

Explore serviceYes, and it is the sensible arrangement. Licences and mobile connections attached to the seasonal side can flex up and down while the office side stays constant, all on one system and one bill. It avoids the common outcome of running two suppliers because nobody wanted to explain the difference to one.
Queueing with a message rather than an engaged tone, so callers know they are held rather than rejected; ring groups so a call tries several people before voicemail; and voicemail delivered as email so it is actually dealt with. None of that needs more staff, and it is usually the difference between missed calls and captured ones.
Both, and they want opposite things. The seafront trade needs routing built around evenings, weekends and bank holidays, because the standard configuration treats its busiest hours as closed. The commercial side wants hybrid working, call reporting and a bill that has been reviewed. It is worth saying which half you are before taking a recommendation from a page.
Based on the sectors that make up the local economy — not everything we do, just what tends to come up here.
The 2027 switch-off affects Southend-on-Sea too. Openreach plans to retire its traditional phone network by 31 January 2027. Check your phone lines, alarms and payment terminals, and plan the move with your provider.
