Non Geographic Telephone Numbers

One thing that holds many businesses back is their phone number. If you have a very specific area code, then there is a possibility that clients outside of this area may be less inclined to take the leap and get in touch with you.

Alternative Communication Systems offer a very simple and cost-effective route around this – simply masking your telephone number with a different one. Whether you are looking to offer your clients a freephone option, or would like to target specific regions with virtual business numbers, our team in Oxfordshire can assist you with the setup of these.

• 0800 – Freephone numbers are popular because the caller is not charged for the call, the owner of the number is. This has significant marketing benefits, overcoming cost as a barrier to calling – often leading to more inbound leads and sales
• 0845 & 0844 – The 0845 and 0844 numbers are often used by organisation so as not to disclose a specific geographic location in a number or to indicate a regional or national presence
• 0870 – 0870 numbers are often used by organisations to provide customer service and support lines
• 03 – 03 numbers cost the caller the same as calls to geographic numbers but offer an alternative in format
• International numbers – Alternative Communication Systems provide a range of international number solutions. These include international freephone numbers and local international numbers, routed to another UK line
• Virtual business numbers – UK virtual business numbers can be used to indicate one geographic telephone code, even if the final receipt of the call is in another geographic location
