How do universities collect LORs from professors if I do not have their phone numbers in UK?

Universities usually collect Letters of Recommendation (LORs) using the email addresses you provide for your professors, so not having their phone numbers is not a problem. When you apply, you will enter your referees’ email addresses into the application system, and the university will contact them directly by email to request the LOR. Make sure to provide current and professional email addresses, as many UK universities may not accept references from personal accounts like Gmail or Yahoo. If you have trouble obtaining these details, you can contact your university’s administration or alumni office for help.
