Telephones UK has its own popular Speaking Clock Service which features the authentic voice of Pat Simmons.

The number to directly access the Speaking Clock is 0871 976 2819, if dialling from abroad the number is +44 871 976 2819.

We have a second Speaking Clock line on a separate number 0871 976 2839 which will feature a variety of speaking clock voices from the past, please see the Speaking Clock page for further details.

Calls to our Speaking Clock services cost 13 pence per minute plus your phone company’s access charge. Charges will be added to the consumer’s phone account.

When dialled the clock will speak for a set period of time, typically between 40 and 60 seconds, you can hang up before this time, but the line may remain engaged until the time has elapsed.

Our Speaking Clock is radio controlled by the MSF Radio Time Signal in Anthorn, Cumbria to enable it to remain accurate at all times. We aim to provide a reliable service, should you experience persistent problems, please contact us via our feedback page. Our clock has no connection with the genuine BT Speaking Clock service nor with the THG.

During periods of high demand callers may receive either engaged tone or ringing tone when the speaking clock equipment is in use. If this occurs then please redial again, a short while later.
